Wife Not Interested in Separating from Internet [#14867]

August 24, 2021

QUESTION:

If I am very careful not to use Internet but my wife isn’t interested in keeping away from Internet. I daven for her and I very much want her to stop, but to no avail. I am very afraid that because I haven’t succeeded in getting my wife to separate from Internet use, I bear the responsibility of this, and because of this I fear that I won’t be zocheh to the Geulah. Am I correct in having this fear? Can I still be zocheh to the Geulah if my wife doesn’t disconnect from using Internet? And is there any way I can cause my wife to be zocheh to the Geulah?

ANSWER:

Do whatever you are able to do - pleasantly, and with tefillah. Then she will have a zechus [the merit of your davening], and you will have saved yourself as well.
