I am currently seeking the Lord as to if I should go on an extended fast. The longest I've done recently is a 3 day with water and juice (I work full time and can't take off of work for fasting).I've been married just a year and my husband who claims to be a Christian has some area's that I'd like God to touch. My concerns about my husband Ron are: He drinks several beers every evening everyday of the week. ALthough he doesn't appear to be an alcoholic I feel that this is not glorifying to God. I do not bring this up to him because Ron is a very stubborn and verbally lashing man. He will immediately accuse me of judging and scream and yell at me. I've been married before and do not want to leave or be divorced again. I decided before leaving that I would give this marriage some time before God. Ron hangs out with non christian men who drink to drunkeness, smoke pot and play poker for money. Ron says he doesn't drink around them and he has never smoked pot that he hangs with them only for the card game and winning some money. I also feel gambling is not something God would be to pleased about. Ron is also verbally abusive to me at times. He snaps at me and has even called me names. When he is having good days he is the most wonderful man I ever met. We had a great dating experience and he was very affectionate with me. Ron also doesn't want sexual intimacy with me very often and I am an attractive woman. I keep myself well and haven't changed in size or style since meeting him. Ron claims that the "initial" sexual excitement is no longer there and that we just won't have that anymore and it only exists in new couples. I disagree. God made sex for marriage and God has blessed the marriage bed. WIll someone please support me with what I am going through ? I need christian friends right now to help me through this. I am in counseling to learn to stand up for myself against him and it is going better but Ron needs God and Ron needs to have a life changing experience with God. Ron is being a"complaicent" christian who goes to church on Sunday and doesn't have any further spiritual walk Monday through Saturday. Please pray God will radically save his soul and give him passion for Christ our savior.
