Dear Queenie,
My wife has a different religion from my family and one of my relatives told her she wouldn’t go to heaven because she doesn’t believe in their religion. Now my wife is mad at me because of what that other person said.
I have told her I don’t think what that person said is right, but she is still mad at me.
Queenie, why is it my fault?—Innocent husband
Dear Husband,
I hope you have made it clear to your wife that you do not agree with or support what that person told her. If not, do so at once, emphatically.
However, I have to wonder why your wife became so angry at you. Is it possible that there are other problems in your marriage that need to be dealt with? If so, I suggest you start trying to work them out – with professional counselling if necessary (but not from anyone with a religious connection).
