I have been dating my fiancé (I will refer to him as "Jake") for about three years. We were friends for a while before that. We met through a campus ministry. During the "friends" stage, I audibly heard God's voice telling me to marry Jake.
Jake accepted Christ in 2011, so his faith is still young, but he had a powerful transformation through the Holy Spirit and was even able to overcome an addiction. When we met, and throughout the first 2+ years of our dating relationship, it was clear that Jake loved Jesus, believed the Bible as truth, and wanted to serve the same God that I did. This is what attracted me to him to begin with.
But in the past six months or so, he has become completely lost. We are finished with college, so we no longer have the campus ministry to rely on. Jake and I live about an hour apart, so going to church together is hard--but he has not made an effort to find a church or ministry near him.
After we got engaged (just a few months ago), his doubts really started to surface. We now regularly get into arguments about faith. No matter what I try to explain to him--from both faith-based and intellectual perspectives--his top two roadblocks are: 1. If Jesus can be trusted, he would have miraculously proven himself to Jake by now, and rescued him like the lost sheep. 2. The Bible's infallible nature cannot be proven, and all beliefs must be built on logic and objectivity.
I don't know where this is coming from, but it's very scary for me. I do not want to marry an unbeliever, but it seems as though Jake has become one. But then, I am confident that God told me to marry him.
Other than steadfast prayer and begging Jake to get involved with Christian community again, what should I do?
