• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

My husband and I are both faced with certain desires that are harmful to our Christianity. Neither of us feel willing to give up these wants.
We both know what God expects of us, and honestly we recognise our own deviancy but we don't seem to want to change.
My husband has recently stepped down as Deacon from our church because he feels that he is being hypocritical.
I know that God is ashamed of us. We are engaging in wilful disobedience, it was just over a year ago that we were baptised and now I don't know what to do.
I feel that I could change my behaviour with my husband's support but he looked me straight in the eye and told me that he refused to change, and that even if I told him that he had to that he wouldn't.
I'm scared about how God will punish us.
We love each other, and we do love God, despite our sins.
I don't even know how to ask God for help.

First, God is never ashamed of you and he loves you.

Like mentioned above, if it doesn't involves other people or children then I see nothing wrong when being married. If it does I think you both, together need to remove this sin from your lives and ask God to help you do that.

If it is other people then you both need to figure out why you are not satisfying each other and what you can do to change that. The longer you do it the harder it will be to stop. But I am just assuming.

Ask for Gods help.
