Since you brought that up, any good advice on getting my husband to go to Church with me? Do I have to go alone? It’s only the 3rd commandment, but I have hollered at him to go with me and it hasn’t worked. BTW, we never argue over anything else. I realize you are not Dear Abby...

Number one, keep going yourself. Let him know you would like him to go with you, but that’s it. Tell him once or twice and let it sink in. Don’t remind him every Saturday that the big day is coming. You’ll just solidify his decision not to attend.

Don’t think for a minute he doesn’t appreciate God. I don’t know your husband, but I know myself. I haven’t attended regularly (or just about at all) for twenty years. That doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate all that God has done for us, and provided for us.

He may or may not ever decide to go. I don’t think that makes him a bad or unsaved person. I don’t think it helps.

You can’t sell religion. It either appeals to people or it doesn’t. Leave a few things lying around that won’t hit him smack in the face, that he can pick up when you’re not around. Choose the material wisely. Good luck.
