As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been.
This verse makes me so sad. Women, one of our primary duties in marriage is to encourage our husbands in their walks with the Lord. We should support them and pray for them. Encourage his involvement in church. Seek out friendships with couples who will help you grow in your faith. Share with one another the things you read in Scripture, the answers to prayer that you see, and things you want the other to pray for. Support decisions that are in line with God's will.
God did not intend for us to have to travel this road alone, and we are to draw our husbands closer to Him, not drive them farther away.
