Me and my husband are a young couple. My husband had an affair shortly after we were married, and wasn't a Christian until after that. I I have a hard time trusting him and it seems like we are always arguing about something. He also struggles with anger (yelling etc.) which he has just started getting help for. It seems like he can't keep the promises he makes to me of change. My self-asteem has suffered through this, and I feel so week inside. I am at the point where I am thinking a lot about leaving him. I know he is hurting too. We have an 11 month old son. I know God can keep us together and help us get through this. Thankyou for your prayers...

Hannah,
I will pray for you. I will pray that your husband too come to know the Lord. Keep loving him. It is through your love and prayers that he will see the love of God. It will be by your steadfast love that he too will be saved.
I know what you are going through. I too have an unsaved husband who can tend to be a violent man. God does not want us to be unhappy but he also does not like to see all the divorce that has been going one in this world either. My husband and I have 4 children together and I know that when I hurt, they hurt. It saddens me. I take them aside and explain to them that it is only through love and prayer that we will see this pain end. 12 1/2 years ago, my husband would have never allowed us to even say grace at mealtime, now, he demands of it. 12 1/2 years ago, he would not even think of letting our first son and I go to church, now (and it has only been recently) he allows all 4 children to go to Sunday School and I get to go to church on Sunday mornings (and yes, Praise God, he even let me go to a Sunday evening service after being away most of the day!) With an 11 month old, I am sure you have heard of Veggie Tales, (those videos for the kids actually has a positive effect on my husband too) there is a song in one of them that says "Stand for what you believe in... Stand for God and He'll stand with you!" What I am trying to say using that song is, hold onto God, pray and be patient because he will make the way for you. He will touch your husband's heart and soften it. I know we are an instant gratification society however, things take time. Be patient, God has a plan and things will work out.
Your sister in Christ,
Karen
