An Update to My Faith Crisis
I told my wife. It was late at night and I talked to her about my struggling faith. I also told her I didn’t think it was appropriate for me to continue wearing garments as I go through this. Thankfully, she was very understanding. She never got upset. She reassured me that she’d support me in whatever I pursue. She stated that she still believed in the church and that it was true. I let her know that I wouldn’t mind going or taking her to church at all and that I would support her as well. Overall, I’m extremely grateful for my wife. I couldn’t have asked for a better reaction. The anxiety I felt in that moment by telling her finally lifted. Finding the right moment to bring it up was difficult, especially with a little one. To say I feel relieved is an understatement. But I also have this feeling of guilt. I do want to lead my family in a way my wife would prefer as that is what we agreed to in marriage. However, in this aspect and at this moment, I don’t think I am able to.
