That makes a lot of sense. Being busy with work can definitely make it hard to find time and energy for anything else, including spiritual life. It can feel like you're constantly running on a treadmill, with no time to pause and reflect.
Understanding His Perspective
From his point of view, work might feel like his primary way of providing for the family, which can be a very spiritual act in itself. He may be showing his love and devotion through his hard work, even if he's not actively engaged in other spiritual practices. It’s also possible he feels disconnected and wishes he had more time for God, but simply feels too exhausted at the end of the day.
How You Can Support Him
Instead of trying to add something else to his busy schedule, you could try weaving faith into the time you already have together.
* Pray for him: As mentioned before, prayer is a great way to support him. You can pray for his work and his well-being, asking God to give him peace and strength.
* Share what you're learning: You can talk about what you read in the Bible or a sermon you heard at Harvest Baptist Church. You can simply share a thought or a verse that resonated with you. This can be a gentle way to open up a conversation.
* Encourage rest: Sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is rest. You could suggest a day or a few hours where you intentionally do nothing, just to decompress. This might create an opportunity for him to feel more present and connected.
It's a beautiful thing that you care so much about your husband's spiritual life. The fact that you're thinking about this shows the depth of your love for him and for God.
