"Purpose Driven Life" is an awesome book. I am assuming you have read it, asbyour user name implies?

You are in a tough situation. Have you tried marriage counsiling?

Since you are a Christain, assuming you believe in the Holy Trinity, and that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Saviuor. You really need to consult a pastor. You should also tell him about your feelings of taking your own life, imsad another was right about this, it is neither accepted by Islam or Christianity.

Your bigest concern is you first, then the fat that you are bearing a child and have a husband and family to attend to. Your first and foremost obligation is God and giving Him glory. It is because of God you have all of these positive things happening in your life.

Take out the fact that you are fighting with yourself about this....You gave nothing but great things to be thankful to God for, Husband, Baby, life.

Enjoy these things while your still here:D

Is your husband understanding of your Christianity?

If he has no problem why do you?

If he does have a problem, ask him if he can learn to understand.

Put him in your situation, would he do the same?

Also keep in mind what the Bible says about a marriage like this.

1 Corinthians 7:12–13 (NIV)

12 To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.



Talk this through sister. I couldn't imagine being in a situation like this. But good can come of it.

Oh btw, you probably won't be able to put up a Christmas tree, but you can always go to your families house? :D

Don't be in tears sisterimsad

You have many that care about you(and me) and One who's unconditional love will never leave you! (you know who i'm talking about)

God bless.
