Faking Faith

A young wife and mother came to see me. She was deeply troubled over her husband's spiritual distance. I said (I have a fairly direct method in counselling): "This is basic. Why didn't you consider this before you got married?" She said: "I did, but he faked a religious life to win me." OBSERVATION: How could her husband fake that? Perhaps, like someone who buys a fake Rolex watch, she was incapable of spotting the fake. I have encountered this not once but a few times in ministry.
