Hyper-religiosity

[140lima]

I'm a married male. Two years ago I had to deploy with the military.  The stress of the deployment was hard on my wife.  She clung to religion to cope but things got out of hand.  She moved to another state to join a  non-accredited bible college which put us into debt. (She did move back when I came home.) Worse, she won't stop talking religion constantly.  She believes she is the bride of Christ, speaks in tongues all the time even in public.  She won't have sex with me unless she conjures Jesus and invites him into our sex.  She speaks in tongues during sex and when I complain she says God invented sex and doesn't understand why I want to shut God out and not have him involved in all aspects of out lives.  I criticize the institution she went to and she rebukes me for questioning the brethren.  I don't want to attend these church events and she says do not forsake the gathering.  These sound like trained phrases she is regurgitating.  She refuses psychiatry and medical/dental care in general. How do I help her?

Just my opinion but once they've fallen that deep into the rabbit hole I don't think there's anything any lay person can do. Maybe a psychiatrist trained with these issues. And then I wonder about that as well. Good luck!

I agree with Rio. Make sure you find a qualified specialist that knows how to deal with your situation. Good Luck!🌞

I used to have a similar problem albeit not as bad as you. 

My family used to enjoy going to nude resorts (me,  wife and teen son) and then my wife got involved in a church.  Now while I'll a "non-believer" and question everything, I think it's good to have faith in something.  Anything. 

But all of a sudden,  my wife would stop doing various things because "the Bible says....." but thankfully, for some unknown reason,  she slowly stopped going to the church and no longer goes. 

From one veteran to another thank you for your service and good luck.
