should I leave

My hubby keeps saying he regrets getting me pregnant because, I refuse to go to church. I dnt like the way his African church worships. It's extremely cultural. I have embraced all other aspects of his culture. I am puertorican and, I dnt ask him to embrace anything except my cooking. Which he enjoys. I'm not saying I'm not spiritual, I just dnt like his churches, I feel lost and I dnt feel God there. He just wants his family in church with him on Sundays. His church is 4 hrs long. I have a daughter who is 6 she hates it. This is my 3rd bby father. I can't keep doing this. I just want to work it out. U should have to be the same color, race or religion to love someone. Our differences make is unique. Yes the culture difference is challenging but he is Gd to me. Should I just go to his church? Or leave because, he wants a His fearing woman. I dnt fear God, I respect his power and mercy, God is loving to me not someone to be feared who sends people to bell.

I can totally relate to what you are saying! My husband and I come from different religions and I find it hard to go to his church as well. I have been only once, My husband isn't to religious so I don't think he minds that I don't like to attend his church.

A God fear woman is one who respects and obeys. That is what father "fear" of God means. Maybe just express that the worship style is not what you are used to. Also Just because you don't feel God there doesn't mean He is not. I would try to work it out. Maybe try so e different churches together until you find one that you both are comfortable with. As your husband he is the spiritual leader of your family and he should look out for your best interest. If you are super uncomfortable at a church that is not in your best interest.

What if you go to your church two times out of three (one time for you and once for your daughter) and go to his church once out of three?
