So, everyone is familiar with the 2 Corinthians 6:14, do not be unequally yoked, and we relate that mostly... with marriage.
Before I met my husband, I was in Church as every chance I could get, looking for answers. I was a single mom. Yet, I still had a party side to me and that's pretty much what brought my husband and I together.
We got married had another child. Bought a house and a family car. We both work and live busy lives. We became just Sunday morning Church people. I wanted more, but never pressured my husband. Instead I followed his lead for Church time. I prayed for my husband a lot and knew that God would make him the leader.
This is so crazy, we are now in Church almost every service and go to 2 different Bible studies. All enforced by my husband. He eventually wanted Bible study with friends, then Wed night service, a men's ministry, and now not just Sunday Church service but Sunday school!
So, I know it's hard for many women to back down and let the man lead. But, God designates men as the head of the household for a reason. And yes, might as well face it, women like to nag, and make men feel bad for choices. But, i.....shut...up... They need the opportunity to move forward at their pace and that then turns into the family pace. And let's face it, it's much stronger with the husbands lead. And that is...God's plan.
I cannot express how important it is to wait on your husband! Let God teach him to lead. With the best of intentions we could discourage them or cause them to avoid Church.
So, I've learned in our 3 years of marriage....ladies, not only worry about unequally yoking yourselves from your husband by taking the lead and carrying the weight, but don't put the freaking carriage before yourselves, (the horses) either. Marriage is about growing TOGETHER spiritually!
This does not mean you stop talking to God and studying word. Just let your husband make the moves!
Blessings!
