If you can relate to me, I want to encourage you to draw a circle around yourself and be concerned with your own obedience to the Lord and not your husbands. Keep praying. Hold your tongue. Be excessively grateful for him. Leave it to the Holy Spirit to do His job. Respect him as if he already is who God wants him to become. Don’t you dare shame him or nag him into leading. And for the love, be physically intimate! Keep circling around that wall, and little by little, I believe God will start to make it crumble down, and you two can step into the most abundant, sweet season of marriage you never thought possible, in Jesus’ name.
I’m still Lindsey. I still love being at church as much as possible (I do think my church is probably the actual most amazing church in the USA though), I can’t imagine a day without reading the Bible, and I look forward to taking steps to fulfill my divine assignment everyday. He’s still Brian. He still loves his bike, doesn’t want to be a deacon, and prefers to discover God through studying quantum physics over being at a bible study. But we are brand new from the inside out. I’ve never been more grateful that he’s nothing like me, because he glorifies God the most when he’s being him. And thank you Jesus for taking two hot messes and turning us into a Gospel miracle.
