Last night, my spouse chose a movie.

It was violent, with sex scenes, nudity and gore.

I tried to look away, read on my phone, distract myself.

In the night I thought about Aaron. Not only was Aaron 'part of the crowd', he actually made the golden calf!
3,000 souls died that day.

I don't want to go to hell. I still have my own issues

Please pray that The Lord opens my spouse's eyes.

You can always walk away ... go into a different room. When I was married whenever my husband was doing something that bothered me I would just remove myself from his presence. After a while he noticed this and would ask me why and my answer would be .... I just don't like being around XYZ. After a time ... he would either quit the behavior ... least wise when I was around.

You are doing the right thing, but we are not supposed to try to change our spouses except through prayer, or passively as stated above. Are you playing Christian or are you a Christian with an unsaved wife? For a Christian love your wife. It’s the main instruction Paul gave for married men. Changes the whole ball game.

So, if a believer is married to an unbelieving spouse, they should stay together (Unless the spouse wants to leave)

What if the unbelieving spouse wants the believer to leave?
The unbelieving spouse should leave, not the believer.

1 Corinthians 7:15 said:
Yet if the unbelieving one is leaving, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.

I pray for the strength to stand spiritually and in the Lord for you.
