Married to an Atheist

I was married on 25th May 2012. My marriage is purely His will. I was at Bangalore when this proposal came and i didn't want to spend time standing like a doll again and again before anyone. So when I was informed that they are coming to.see me that weekend, i cried to God saying, "if it is Your will alone, take me there, or else i am going to bunk going home." I got peace while praying but that wasn't enough for me. I asked for confirmation or a sign. I said to God that I wanted to see three marriage happening when I reach my room from my client office. I have been in that route for months and i haven't seen a single marriage hall. So when I asked this, there was heavy traffic and my can started moving in alternate routes. Before reaching my street, I saw 2 marriages. But in my mind I said, " aah, I asked for 3 but I saw only 2". When my cab was about to reach my room there was big hole in the road (they were digging for some work) which means that the cab has to come through another street. That was there I saw the 3rd marriage too. (Silly). I sighed and surrendered to God. I didn't ask for his full name nor his job nor his salary. I agreed when they came and saw me. Till engagement I didn't even knew his full name and where he was working. Neither did I get his number. Only on the engagement day, I got his number and we started chatting. That's when I came to know, he is kind of an atheist and haven't been to church at all. My dreams got shattered and I was under confused state and did not know what to do. But God spoke to me through my friends brother. He suddenly called me and said, "Many are willing to marry the person they desire. Why don't they marry the person whom God shows?". This nailed my head and I continued to pray for him. My husband promised me that, he will come with me wherever I call him and he will not stop me from going to fellowship and prayers. Thank God, he never stopped me from going to Thursday fellowship even once after marriage. I never forced him to study the bible nor asked him to church with me. I will just pray and call him. He also will just come with me. He used to ask questions regarding creation and evolution and God helped me to answer him. I remember him asking questions to our fellowship friends too, when we are on the way to thirunelveli to our fellowship friend's marriage. And there was a mission trip arranged from our fellowship. As I was in FMPB before, I have been to that place before and I thought of not joining the trip. But my husband as he is fond of trekking he said he wants to go. We went to mission trip and he got so many answers there. Thanks to Navaneethar uncle who patiently answered his questions and the last day, we are split into groups to share the gospel to everyone in that village. When we were asked to pray for the people who comes to us, my husband also prayed for a boy. He had an encounter with Christ by seeing a cross and surrendered himself to Christ. Praise God. And after that also, i didn't force him to read the bible as that might bring a spiritual ego between us and I left it to God. Till now, God is leading our family and I can see so.many changes happening in the life of my husband. What I learned was, we can't literally change our spouse if we are not praying for them. If at all praying for them, leave it to God and don't grumble and speak bad about them. God will change them at the right time
