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.

I had my most spiritual moment on a beginner’s ski slope in Vail, all by myself, in the snow. Many years ago.

When you have an epiphany like that, it’s easy to understand that you don’t find your faith in Church alone.

We were doing fine, joined a United Methodist Church, then we lost our moms and stopped going. I have come to realize I don’t like their politics - is that sad, or what?!
