Surviving a Spiritual Mismatch in Marriage

De: Lee Strobel, Leslie Strobel

Narrado por: Giovanni Cordiferro, Rebecca Rogers

Someone came between Lee and Leslie Strobel, threatening to shipwreck their marriage. No, it wasn't an old flame. It was Jesus Christ.

Leslie's decision to become a follower of Jesus brought heated opposition from her skeptical husband. They began to experience conflict over a variety of issues, from finances to child-rearing. But over time, Leslie learned how to survive a spiritual mismatch. Today, they're both Christians - and they want you to know that there is hope if you're a Christian married to a nonbeliever.

In their intensely personal and practical book, they reveal:

• Surprising insights into the thinking of non-Christian spouses
• A dozen steps toward making the most of your mismatched marriage
• Eight principles for reaching out to your partner with the gospel
• Advice for raising your children in a spiritually mismatched home
• How to pray for your spouse - plus a 30-day guide to get you started
• What to do if you're both Christians, but one lags behind spiritually
• Advice for single Christians to avoid the pain of a mismatch

very encouraging and useful!

I really appreciated how Lee and Leslie took such a Christ-like stance on loving your non-christian spouse. This is not a spouse conversion strategy book, but rather it was practical and encouraging collection of stories and advice for Christians going through a spiritual mismatch. It was such a blessing for me and probably many others going through the same thing!

Loved it

The book has made me see issues I need to look into, questions I need answered.

Must read for living in a spiritual mismatch

This book gave me so much hope and insight. I also had convictions on my own behavior. I put into practice a lot of what is said and already I have seen some change in how my husband is toward me. That is only God!! My husband is not ready to give his life to Christ just yet but small victories daily is all I need for me to keep fighting. Thank you Lee and Leslie Strobel for writing a much needed book!

Very inspiring

Great testimony from the author and great to hear what his wife dealt with before he was converted. Useful tidbit from the book; even if your spouse never becomes a Christian you are to love them like no other and Gods plan will prevail for your life either way. Embrace what comes and be the best example of Christ on earth that you can. Amen!

Really helpful for those in a spiritual mismatch relationship

May God bless and guide you through this book. Together in prayer for those who are in spiritual mismatch

Could have been better.

went to sleep during the last chapter.
wasn't Lee Strobel narrarating. it was pretty good, though.

Good book for the unequally yoked

this book was helpful in letting me know the ways I was walking with God and ways I need help to live as Christ intends for a pairing such as this

Very encouraging!

A spiritual mismatch marriage is actually a blessing to the believer. God is faithful and He listens to our prayers. The time will come, according to His will and wisdom. In the time between, is His training for love and patience for the believer.

I highly recommend this book.

I learned so much especially I realized that I must be realistic and look at my own heart. God bless these couple, and everyone one or couples who read this and put them into practice. praise the Lord. in Jesus' name.

Very insightful

This is a must read for anyone who is contemplating marriage or is married. There are so many valid, truthful points throughout this book. It is really evident that the writers have lived this.
