  1. Thank you for your testimony!! I am dating a self proclaimed atheist at the moment (he doesn’t believe that God is good and chooses to not believe in Him at all because of that). When I put our relationship on the altar without reservations, God said “wait/stay” (simultaneously both words) and I’ve been pulled to this passage ever since. I’m still waiting for him, but God’s got this!! Thank you!

  2. Dear Sister thank you for this post. I do believe you were one of the speakers at the Wives of Integrity Online Conference. You truly blessed me. Blessings!!!

  3. Wow this was so incredibly encouraging! When my husband and I got married, I was a lukewarm Christian and he was an unbeliever. Now my fire for God has been renewed but my husband is caught up in a works based belief. Also he believes that the apocrypha is scripture. Lots of people tell me to give up on him but I keep feeling that conviction to keep praying and stand firm. So thank you for this much needed encouragement!

  4. Thank you this message and prayer. I have been struggling to find answers. Whether to stay or leave. I will try this to my best efforts and ask God to give me the strength to do this. Thank you soooo much!!!!

  5. So much great advice here. I love this: “He expects you to win them over by your godly life not your discussions.” I struggle with this, always trying to argue my hubby over to my side. But you are so right, it’s the godly life we live that sets the example and truly wins others over. Marriage is really hard, especially when we are in different places on our Christian walk. Thank you for this much needed advice and encouragement!

  6. Wow! That’s a pretty amazing story! Praise God for his faithfulness. Thank you for the reminder of not nagging and not acting unbecomingly. I am thankful for a wonderful husband who loves the Lord and who is ever patient with me even when I behave unbecomingly. In fact, his example has helped me to truly understand the sacrifice that Christ made for the church.

  7. What a beautiful testimony, Timberley, and reminder of the Christian that I want to be for my husband and family. I’m writing own this wonderful prayer and will pray it regularly. Thank you!

    1. Thank you Tammy for those kind words. We never know how sharing our testimonies can encourage others. And I’m so blessed to know that the prayer resonated with you!.

    1. Thank you Julie for stopping by to read. God gets all the glory. Just today my husband was preaching and I was watching him just thinking how far we have come in 17 years!

  8. Timberly, I love your testimony and example of how to faithfully live out this verse! I’ve walked along side of two very dear friend’s who both married as unbelievers and came to the Lord years later but their husbands did not want to ever change and left. It’s so important to know that faithfulness to God is the why! He does the rest and He always blesses obedience.

    1. Tricia I love that…faithfulness to the why! Sometimes our circumstances speak louder to us than God’s Word and it is in those moments that we have to remember our why so that we come back to the Father to put a super on our natural!
