In this episode, I’m answering question number two from a wife who shares a very difficult situation. She married while living in the world, but five years into her marriage, she gave her life to Christ. Since then, her husband has not only refused to convert, but he mocks her faith and argues with her about not living in sin with him anymore. On top of that, he has been unfaithful multiple times and continues to use drugs. Her question is: Should she stay in the marriage, and if she does, is she still called to submit to his unholy requests?   Get the APP and Join the Wife Revival Program: https://www.spicedwife.com/wiferevivalprogram   Submit a Question: https://www.spicedwife.com/contact   Stay in the Loop: Subscribe to the email list: https://www.spicedwife.com/   Subscribe to YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCknRAQI5P-lDps5UCbF_ydA   Connect on Socials Instagram ⇢  https://www.instagram.com/spicedwife/ Podcast ⇢ https://open.spotify.com/show/5G90Mh7zI9Q1BKkpXq0EuH   ::: NEW SUBSCRIBER ::: Hey girl, hey!
