My husband and I are going to be adopting soon. We have been married for 11 years.

We LOVE each other, and have grown as far "emotionally" together and feel that "something missing" that children will bring us.

I was raised in a Christian household. Southern Baptist, actually.

My husband was raised in one of those "send the kids to church, but don't go yourself" type families.

We have both seen our share of hypocrisy from self professed Christians, who are either out gambling or drugging, or drinking. Enough to the point that we don't really care to go to church.

Actually, we've only been 1 time in our 11 years of marriage. We didn't even get married in a church, we got married in a wedding chapel.

Now though, I'm wanting to start going to church. I miss the way it felt to go, but my husband just is not interested.

He is saved, he is baptised. He knows and believes in God and Jesus. I don't know if he's lazy, or just is that strongly against being in a group of potential hypocrites.

We have no local friends, and we don't feel we need any, so we don't care for a social group of people. Just people there to learn about and listen to God's message.

So, what do I do? I understand my husband works 2 jobs while I am taking care of my 89 year old grandmother 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. But, is he just being lazy, or what?

I'd be curious to hear what you have to say.
