Question

Please do not get nasty with each other, a simple answer to my question would be great!

Answer 1

nothing.  churches should not get any money!  save it for a nice evening with your hubby!

Answer 2

Wow, is this a USA area? What is all of this bullcr-p about submitting to all of your husbands wishes?

This is the 21st century folks!

I think tything is old fashoned too, but just give what you want

Answer 3

Give whatever you want.  God doesn't need your money.

Answer 4

I dealt with the same situation, my husband recently started tithing within the past year.  God doesn't just want our money, and considering you really don't have much of a choice in the matter, consider what else you can give back to God, can you make meals through His love to give to someone in need?  Can you volunteer to teach a  children's class?  Your husband will only find Christ through seeing Him through you, your continued hard work and dedication to serving will show him your sincerity, God does not hold you accountable for what He has given your husband, your husband is accountable for his own money, but God has given us more to give back than just finances!

Answer 5

Your first problem is that the family is not functioning as God intended, with the husband as spiritual leader of the home.  

If you tithe against his wishes, you are really not living in submission to your husband.  But you see the importance of tithing and you will feel convicted if you don't give at all.

Pray about this, and try communicating with your husband about it, and see if you can reach an amount that is acceptable to him.  If you have a fairly standard monthly "allowance" or amount that you typically spend in a month, perhaps he would approve you shifting/saving and using for this purpose, that would seem like a reasonable approach to this.

Also pray diligently that somehow you can quietly be an example to your husband so that the Lord will draw him to attend with you & become a Christian as well.  Don't nag or push him about it, but just let your light shine before him.

You could also let your "tithe" be in the form of service that you do around the church.  Can you volunteer in the nursery, the soup kitchen, on work day (cleaning up around the church), or to help with other ministries of the church?  God only requires out of what we have, not what we don't.  Read the story of the widow's mite to understand how little is much in the eyes of the Lord if your heart is right.

Answer 6

The answer depends on your husbands beliefs.  You may be married but that doesn't mean you get to push your religious choices on him.  If you want to donate to church then donate your time and allow your husband the choice to donate money to your church.

we actually send it to good stuff

like starving children or hurricane katria

Answer 8

huh? Churches dont need your money, send it to an animal shelter

Answer 9

He's still the leader of the house, whether or not he goes to church. Does he want you tithing his money? If not, tithe off the"allowance" he gives you. Your job is to submit to your husband. If he tells you not to tithe "his" money, don't. God honors our obedience to our husbands. Submit to him as though you're submitting to God.
