It's hard enough to get your kids out of the bed and to Sunday School on time with your husband's help. But what if he was still fast asleep, or lounging on the couch in pajamas? Hear women share about the struggles of raising kids in an unequally yoked marriage. Whether your spouse or the spouse of a loved one doesn't believe in the grace of Jesus Christ.
You're not supposed to feel lonely if you're married. When your husband is sleeping right beside you, it's not supposed to feel like he's a thousand miles away. But isolation is a very real struggle when your spouse doesn't share your faith in Christ. Hear from women who have been married to non-Christian men for more than 20 years.
