Hubby advice needed

[meep]

My husband is a wonderful person and a great father. I have found the Lord in the past year (I used to be agnostic) and I have found a church that I love. The problem is, he doesn't wish to attend a Baptist church because the values are too conservative and he doesn't like the idea of the Bible being taken literally. I like all the programs and the fact that this church is HUGE.

He has gone with me to a local lutheran church with no problems. I know he still isn't a believer but I am so happy he is doing this for me and our son. I couldn't imagine my baby being raised in a Godless home.

So, is it worth getting uptight about? Perhaps I could attend both churches? I don't want to pressure him to do something he doesnt' want to (and won't) do because I realize it's a big step that he is going to the lutheran church.

Any ideas? Or should I put my own desires aside (having a conservative, Baptist church) and be happy he is willing to go to a Lutheran church?

Can you go to the Lutheran church with your husband on Sunday morning and then attend the Baptist Church in whatever evening they have prayer meeting and bible study?

Just a thought.

That would be my advice.

Mine too. Perhaps the Baptist church has a mid-week meeting you could attend so you and your husband have time together on Sundays that is not 'church' orientated? Do bear in mind that it may be a hard pill for him to swallow that you love 'another Man' and that He is very important to you . . . so I suggest you go slowly.

i agree with all the posters! your number 1 relationship is with God but your number 2 is with your husband. i think with time your husband will see your new beliefs as non threatening and actually positive for your whole family but until that time you need to make sure he knows hes important. For all men's strength they can have fragile egos! be the best wife you can for him and in your behavior hopefuly you can change his mind. praying for you!

I agree with everyone else. I think if I had continued in the church I was in many years ago, my husband would still be going to church. He came to another church with me, against his desires, and it was a mess. After that, he never went to church again.
Go where he will go. Quietly pray for him to have the same desires as you and above all that the Lord would open his eyes to see his need for a Savior. Praying right now.
