Dear Pastor,

Is this right? My husband owes the bank money. he came to me with a proposal. I told him not over my dead body.

First, he suggested I could go away, work and help him to repay his loan. I told him that I would talk to my brother and hear what he says, because I would have to stay by him and his wife. I talked to my brother. he said his wife was pregnant, the house was not convenient, but he would send us some money, sometimes, to help us.

My husband came up with another shocking proposal. He said we could allow young people to use part of our house as a whorehouse. I call it a whorehouse because we would use two rooms as brothel where guys would bring in girls for a certain number of hours.

My husband was always a sensible man, but I think he must have knocked his head. He even suggested I could put up myself sometimes, sell my body to strange men. I asked him how would that work. I told him he wanted me to be a prostitute. He, however, doesn't see it that way. He said it is only business, I would not be a prostitute.

I have a son, but he is not for my husband. I told him about the proposal. He said my husband does not want me. He was trying to get rid of me to bring in another woman. I didn't think of it like that but, after my son said it, I believe he is right.

A week passed. He came back to me with the same argument, about turning our house into a brothel. He said he would tell taxi men they could bring clients to the house and, if things go well, we could have a couple girls work with us. My mind is changing from my husband. He took me from my church and wants to make me into a prostitute. I can't do it, so, please, give me your advice.

Dear E.A,

Your husband must be out of his mind to suggest you should agree to use part of your house as a brothel, to have girls come and practise their profession.

How could a man sink to such depths of depravity that he would even suggest that his wife could play the role of a prostitute and take in clients?

I believe your son might be correct. This man wants you to leave so he can put in place some devious type of business. He wanted you to go abroad. that wasd not going to work, so now he wants you to turn your house into a whorehouse and become a madam.

If you were to do so, it won't be long before all the taxi men would know your house is a whorehouse. The police would then have a right to come raid your house and arrest you both.

Please do not allow your husband to convince you to get into this type of lifestyle. Let him go get a job. your husband cannot be trusted.

Pastor
