Absolutely!!!! My husband became a Christian 10 years ago, and our marriage has grown much stronger since this change of focus in his life. We would never be where we are today had this not occurred. It's so uplifting to see him serving the Lord's supper during worship services, hearing him lead a prayer, present a devotional or lesson to the congregation or a youth group. He brings a realism when he speaks because it's from his heart and from his past experiences when he was outside the church. People who have grown up in the church as I have sometimes don't have the same appreciation and perspective. We sometime tend to take things for granted. He gets it. He knows what Christ has done for him.

Janet, I hope and pray that your husband will someday make this change. While there is still life and mental health, it's never too late.
