I actually had the guts to do it. I can seat there all day long and listen to the bs if I had to. What I can not stomach is hear my wife put them above me or our family. Despite knowing what I know and actually agreeing with me (on a few topics only), she can not stop chastising the kids for getting distracted in the meetings. I've tried the road of showing her that she can not question my motives without questioning theirs.. That I only have good intentions . Her answer? The road to hell is paved with good intentions. What about their "good intentions?". Are those not paving the road to hell?
in my case is more of a "keep your enemy closer" approach. I do believe in respecting her "faith" but as a loving husband it is my duty to press forward, even if it will eventually cost me my sanity or even my life. Leaving them alone to decide on their own religion is to risk for them to be manipulated by outsiders who could eventually hurt them. Sometimes, irreparably so. It would be selfish, in my opinion, to think that you should love myself above them
