What to Do When a Husband Isn’t Spiritually Leading the Home

Spiritually unequal in marriage?  Husband is a prodigal?  How is it that he’s still the head of the home?  Or is he?  This is what one wife is dealing with in her marriage. Here’s her story…

Dear Jolene,

If your husband has fallen away from Jesus, Our Lord, the wife must take the lead in the household for Jesus and the religion part, right! This is a problem when one leaves the church, and becomes the prodigal son! How would you answer that?

So, what’s a girl to do?

Scripture References:

In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over by observing your pure and reverent lives. Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God. This is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They trusted God and accepted the authority of their husbands. For instance, Sarah obeyed her husband, Abraham, and called him her master. You are her daughters when you do what is right without fear of what your husbands might do.  1 Peter 3:1-6

Live a poured out life for Christ,
