My wife is a Christian, by that I mean she believes in Christ's death and resurrection and is her savior. But that's it.
She never reads her bible, she never prays unless I'm there to lead her in prayer but worst of all, she doesn't trust God to take care of us.
She is constantly worried about our teenaged kids, always worried about money (we make way more than enough), and keeps a job that she hates but won't let go for fear of not having enough money even though my income is sufficient for the family. She keeps expecting things like travel or skiing to make her happy, but it's only momentary.
I feel bad for her mainly because she has no joy that God has blessed us greatly and we will live in eternity in his kingdom.
Granted, she is from Norway and Norwegians are seldom the life of the party, but she really lives like a subject in the book, "The Christian Atheist".
Actually, we have a good marriage, but sometimes I can't take the negativity and she thinks I'm always whistling in the dark.
I'm not whistling in the dark. I'm just happy. I'm not without worry or concern, but I have faith that God is going to take care of me, no matter what.
Has anyone else dealt with this in a spouse?
