Thank You! That was beautifully said
Let God be the one to made any changes needed in him. Ignore all negative comments and the "opposing" opinions of men. For in this marriage God sees no sin. Who dare would have a dispute with Him?
The word of God says, "be ye not unequally yoked", and this you know. But who is one to judge this to be so in
your personal case? I can't and won't. The Lord will give you both total peace about this.
I don't see your husband as being 'married' to the JW religion. He married 'you', not the 'fellowship' of his congregation. He chose to 'forsake' all others and cleave unto you and you alone. Your husband still has Godly principles, just a different theory. But you will never have to fight about this theory with him. Something and Someone greater has brought the two of you together in marriage and that's the real focus, of what the two of you will always be...which is One.
No matter what occurs on the 'outside' of your marriage, (conflicting beliefs of holidays and other celebrations, etc.), there's something more that prevails. You've given him over to the Lord, for God to have His glory and perfect work in his heart. God is not about to let you go, so in this case, who do we know who's going to win? (High 5 - You know who?)
Remember the love and marriage of Ruth and Boaz; Esther and the King; and don't forget Rahab...who was a part of the bloodline of Jesus...(How I love the 'Begats' , the lineage of Jesus in the Bible).
My point, God has a plan for this wonderful man, whom you married. So love him; and
enjoy loving him, and have lots of babies, for one just may be the first president in this country that ever made good sense....
Loving prayers to you...husband, baby(s) and all...
