My husband wants me to stop attending church

Dear Obaa Yaa,

I am the president of the youth ministry in my church. My inconsistency at church and meetings began when I got married.

My husband complains bitterly anytime I go for executive meetings in the evening. Recently, I had to attend one of the meetings because I was scheduled to serve as a Master of Ceremony for our youth service.

On my way back, I realised our front door was locked. He watched me through the window and asked me to go back to where I came from.

I went back home later and apologised, yet he is still not minding me and keeps giving me attitude. I have had no peace in the house because he insists I should stop going to church. Did I make the right choice of a husband?

Naa, Teshie

Dear Naa,

Being a Christian wife, you should ensure that whoever you marry understands and aligns with your faith and beliefs. I believe if you had done due diligence before marriage, you might not be going through all this now.

The Bible admonishes us not to forsake the assembling of the saints (Hebrews 10:25). On that note, I suggest that you talk to your husband about it and, if possible, get your pastor involved.

If all your efforts fail, then do what pleases your husband — that will amount to submission. Eventually, this may save you from unnecessary stress; otherwise, it could create serious marital problems.
