As a New ish christian, my partner is not a christian, and I also see jelousy in respect of my relationship with God.
This is how I think of it.
PRAISE GOD, as he is working in your husband and the fight for your husbands soul is on!!
Pray for him, and love him with all of your heart!
Don't take your husbands behaviour towards you personally even though Satan really really wishes you would, and probably will stop and nothing to try and stir those feelings within you.
Take the measure of love that God has given you and give it to your husband, take the measure of patience that God has given you and give it to your husband, take the level of forgiveness that God has given you and give it to your husband, because although he has very little idea of what is happening inside of him, he is really struggling with the war being waged against him.
Oh how glorious!! why do you think Satan is fighting so hard!!! what marvelous wonderful thing is going to be won here????
What prize awaits you both!!!!!
Rejoice in the lord ALWAYS!!!!!
Take comfort in the joy of the lord, can you not smell victory in the air???
Live in love in all things, in all dealings with your husband, be fully aware of the fight within him, pray for him and give him the compassion just as you would if you could see before you his struggle in the physical relm with the enemy because it is just as real. The difference is that Satan uses deception and smoke screens, but you know better!!!!!

CHOOSE to praise God throughout, fight Satans attack on your husband and ultimately you, by your FAITH in the victory that was won on the cross has the power to over throw any and all atempts by Satan.
Hold tight to the knowledge that there must truely be something worth while to fight for if it is so difficult, and that with faith in God you WILL succeed!
