There is a spiritual rule is , that the devil and his dark spiritual forces divides people and will work to separate people .... Then there is the Lord Jesus who brings people together into One happy family.... This is wisdom of the Lord which is truth and people inside the church were divisions are part of the life, the Lord Jesus is not part of that part and has to share the Children with the devil in His spiritual authority...... With your relationship Jesus said in Matthew 6: 14-15.....``For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you...but if you forgive Not men [or women] their trespasses, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses`` See this Word of God is the wisdom of the character of the Living God Lord Jesus and His plan for men....

Strange way to express the question(?) -- Do you believe that you can force her or anyone to believe something? When you say that 'she is a Christian, but seems to be very much lost' ... do you mean that she seems confused --- or you are not certain that she is a Christian?

Are you a Christian? Is she a Christian? --- Do you understand what a Christian is? (True Christianity has very little to do with 'religion', although, it's expression is 'religious').

In my experience over many years of marriage counseling, the most common marriage difficulty in the context of Christianity ... is 'being unequally yoked.' A Christian has a completely different world and life-view than the non-Christian. Since Christianity is a way of life, not just a religion, it's difficult, if not impossible, to reconcile a Christian and a non-Christian world view. If, however, both partners are Christians, they have a common ground upon which to build a resolution. Such a resolution typically involves more than an explanation.
