Share Your Spiritual Life With Him

In five minute bursts once or twice a week, tell your husband how God is guiding and teaching you. Speak only about yourself, and don't ask him for any response.

Tell Him What He's Missing

Tell him, briefly, when you see God working in his life. Point out how Jesus can help him in difficult times. Let him know how much better your marriage could be with spiritual bonding. Just say a sentence or two, and then drop it and move on.

Express Your Feelings and Desires

You need to tell your husband the painful feelings you have because you don't share Christ as a couple. Periodically, write a letter that honestly and gently releases your pain. Make it clear he doesn't have to respond. This one-way technique cleans your system and faces him again and again with your need in this area.

Ask for Small Steps

Ask him for baby steps. Ask him to listen to you pray for a minute or two. Ask him to pray briefly with you before a date of just before the church worship service begins. When he takes the smallest step toward spiritual intimacy, praise him for it.

Pray

Pray regularly on your own for your spouse. Pray with close Christian friends. pray at Bible Studies. Never give up. Never stop praying.
