When Good Men Do Nothing<\/a>.” Your husband is taking advantage of your situation to do as he pleases. To argue that if you do nothing then somehow your husband and his parents will change is a falsehood. Good does not come about by doing evil (Romans 3:8). And by not taking a stand against this evil, you are allowing it to continue.<\/p>\nTake your stand against evil first, it might just shock your husband enough to get him to leave his sins. But whether he does or not, at least you know you stood for the right. Look in the phone book and contact the nearest women’s shelter. Explain your situation to them and ask if they have some means to help. I assume you are in the United States, and I don’t know under what kind of visa you might have entered. It is possible that by divorcing your husband (which is likely to happen) you might lose your visa. If that is the case, you will have to resolve yourself to return to your home country.<\/p>\n
If your stance does bring your husband back to righteousness, then when he repents you can remarry him (I Corinthians 7:10-11). If he refuses to change, then you have the option of finding another spouse (Matthew 19:9).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
