I'm not really clear about the evil and wickedness you talk about. There is a difference between not being saved and being evil and wicked.
If you're faced with evil and wickedness every day, then you're in a situation that requires action. There are two things I would say to you.
First, always pray. Your first line of defense has to be to pray. God knows exactly what is happening in your situation and His power is what overcomes evil and wickedness.
Second, go see your pastor or a Christian counselor. You need an objective Christian to help you sort out all that's happening in your life. There are no easy answers and I suspect it will take more than one visit to sort it all out.
But just stay positive as you go through the process and keep praying for your husband.

Alternative? by: ad
All this sounds right and good, but do you think that God wants us to live with a wicked husband? Where is our peace, I know that the Lord gives us our peace, but sometimes it gets so hard that all you desire is to be free from the wickedness and evil that you see on a daily basis. Isn't the world wicked enough? How do you cope and endure the waiting, or is God telling us something else about our husband?

Christian love by: Karen
Hi Elaine,
It's hard to be in a relationship when you're not on the same page, isn't it? You know you're right about your faith, and all you want is for your husband to believe it for himself so you can raise your Christian family together.
It sure doesn't sound like a lot to ask! :)
Unfortunately, life and marriage isn't so simple. It would be great if my husband would agree with me on A LOT of things! :)
The absolute best thing you can do is to be a Christian to him. That means doing all the Christian stuff like being patient, loving, kind, etc.
And, of course, being peaceful when the storms come in your life. And they WILL come.
Showing your husband the benefits that come from living a Christian life will make him want what you have.
And don't forget to pray. A LOT. Pray that God will send someone into your husband's life that he'll listen to.
Just keep on loving him, and keep on showing him how your own relationship with God helps you every single day. Let him see it and pretty soon he'll want it for himself.
Blessings,
Karen

An Unsaved Husband by: thelmaz trunk
Elaine...
First off i would like to direct you to 1 Corinthians 7:13-16.
This is your scripture for living with an unsaved husband.
Ephesians 5:22 says that we are to submit to your own husband, whether he is saved or not, as unto the Lord. and the Lord will honor the wife for this. Just love him, like he was saved, and if he will permit you to take the children and yourself to church, then that would be great.
if not, then you can train them at home. but remember what it says in 1 Corinthians. The husband is sanctified and the children also because of the believing wife.
Collect a band of believers to hold him up in prayer...and to agree with you, and the Lord will deal with him. Just don't nag him.
I say all this from the Word of God, experience, and 60 yrs of marriage.
