  1. Hi Huckleberrymojo, I’m in a similar situation to you where my wife doesn’t want to or have any interest in being a part of the church. She is fine with me and the kids going but we’ve both agreed that church is not forced upon anyone because everyone has their choice. In saying this it isn’t easy going to church without her especially when the kids ask “why isn’t mummy coming with us”. My 10 yo is already starting to say if mum’s not coming then I’m not either but funnily my wife is the one to tell him to get ready and go. I think she still has some spark in her about the church but right now she isn’t interested so I keep trying to do the right thing in hopes she will one day return. I don’t force her but just continue on. It is hard having to do everything at home church related but it is the right thing so I keep doing it. I’m hoping your ward is not like mine where you get no support at all. I work away from home many weeks at a time and have asked Bishop/EQP/Home Teachers/Visiting Teachers to visit her often while I’m gone but no one comes. This has contributed to her reasons for not being active, and I will admit it does affect my own testimony and growth, but I know the church is the right place to be so I keep going despite the lack of leadership and support. I read something a while back (not sure where it is from) that said ”if you look to the Lord and try and follow Him your heart will change and you will view your spouse as the Lord does; things may not improve but you and your relationship will be better”. So just keep being that example and things will get better for you.
