My husband in no way wants to try the LDS church again. I asked him if it was ok if I went back and he didn't like that idea at all. He does not have a Christian background of any kind. So we have been going to a lovely Baptist Church and I figure thats a start. What he has said is he doesnt like the rituals in the LDS church. The garments worn for the temple, the things said. Its makes him uncomfortible and he says we shouldnt have to do that stuff, that its all the mark of a cult.

I understand why one could think that but I also believe doing ceremonious things are a way to bring us closer to God. He is turned off by the idea that people who have behaved in a certain way can be exhiled from the church. He believes that is only between God and the individual. I dont know enough to be able to tell him differently. I just ask him to respect my faith journey as I have respected his but he is determined to keep me away from it all.

There are things in the bible he doesnt like or agree with. He hasnt been satisfied that the real God is 100% the God of the bible.

I am afraid to push it and push him away from all of Christianity. He believes on God but has yet to be convinced of Christ.

Im at a real conflict here. Life is so stressful at the moment. I am waiting for hear about a job or two.

Faith always used to carry me through these times.

I can relate. My husband also hates the idea of me attending an LDS church. It was something that I felt was right and thus I converted. He does have minimal religious background, but he was raised to be spiritual versus being religious. At the end of the day, I know that no man completes me, God completes me. So if I have to get up and go to church myself I do, and will continue to do so. The only thing you can really do is lead by example. Let him see what a blessing the church is to you and subsequently your family.  "Faith is the substance of things hoped for...the evidence of things not seen..."  Have faith that hopefully he will come around.
