[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what I think you're forgetting, and many other forget as well, is that you are responsible for your own soul and your husband is responsible for his. Getting married does provide a special, some believe timeless, bond, but ultimately your husband will have to answer for his life and why he lived the way he did. In that moment, he will not be able to blame you or his parents for his choice to be active in the church or not. And even if you don't believe you'll ever have to answer for anything, it's you and only you who would answer and therefore you who are responsible for you. Being married to him doesn't give you the right to blockade his spiritual development; he has to be in charge of that himself. It would be just as wrong for your husband to try drag you along when you don't want to go.

Your husband has vows he's made to you and that he must honor and conversely so do you, but you are deeply mistaken if you think honoring those vows means prioritizing you above God. If you truly can not manage the kids for 1-2 hours on your own on a Sunday morning,  then ask if he would consider another mass time or church that's closer and doesn't take so long to get to & from, but really that's such a small issue in the grand scheme of things. I hope you can be honest with yourself and your husband and approach this will a more reasonable attitude. [/quote]
