Husband Complains Wife's Devotion To God Interrupting Relationship by Lucario007(m): 7:32pm On Sep 12, 2011
I am sure everyone is aware of the saying: too much of a good thing is bad. I agree, but does this refers to: too much praying to God is bad? too much praising God is bad? too much fasting is bad? to much of church service is bad? IS IT? well someone should answer. because a woman's devotion to these things is on the verge of her husband considering a divorce. They have everything, a good house, fine cars, well paying jobs and are both handsome and beautiful. All except children, the wife always insists on praying before bed and she prays so long by the time she is done the husband is snoozing mouth open. So now i open this question out to all, is too much of praying, praising and fasting to God a bad thing?

"And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment." - Mark 12:30

Love for, and thus obedience to GOD, The Lord JESUS CHRIST (with GOD's righteousness alone as our robe, not ours) is the number one thing.

then secondarily.

"Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. - 1 Corinthians 7:2-5"

She should not defraud her husband of attention, however, the husband could, by GOD's grace, use it as an opportunity to read the holy word of GOD more and pray more, "pray without ceasing" (1 Thess 5:17), drawing closer to GOD, which is best.

She is doing the right thing by taking her GOD serious but she shouldt do that to defraud her hubby hence, she is doing against the scripture. She HAS to sort things out, she shouldn't make it look like the (topic). There is no over pray as far as i am concern, but we should try and respect certain aspect in matrimony, as marriage is biblically surported.

these verses should help her grow and wise in both aspect.


"Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. , and the wife see that she reverence her husband."
Ephesians 5:20-24; 33b

"That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed."
Titus 2:4-5

"Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear."
1 Peter 3:1-2

The bible clearly stated that a woman should be submissive to her husband,and thesame Bible also says we should serve the Lord our GOD with all our heart.It is not to much for the wife to pray,fast and worship God but she should not do all that without giving the husband all neccessary attention when needed because that will be undermining and contradicting the world of GOd.

When he got married to a "God-loving" woman, what did he expect?!

She's cheating on him with God, Shikina,

The woman is cheating on her husband, full stop. She is having an extramarital affairs with another man, be he an imaginary one. A wife can't serve two masters. Either she serves the bible god or her husband. Which one of the two is more important? The hubby's final ultimatum: me or Mr. Jesus Jehovah? Choose one! wink
