Let your light shine before men, so that they may see your fine works.—Matt. 5:16.

 

Jehovah draws people to him by means of the “fine works” of the Christian congregation. (Matt. 5:14, 15; 1 Pet. 2:12) If your mate is not one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, has he or she met members of your congregation? Invite your mate to attend congregation meetings with you. (1 Cor. 14:24, 25) We hope that all our relatives will join us in serving Jehovah. However, despite all our efforts to help our relatives to become God’s servants, they may not come into the truth. If that is the case, we should not blame ourselves for their decision. After all, we cannot force anyone to accept our beliefs. Even so, do not underestimate the influence you can have on your relatives as they see how happy you are serving Jehovah. Pray for them. Tactfully speak to them. Do not hold back! (Acts 20:20) Be confident that Jehovah will bless your efforts. And if your relatives choose to listen to you, they will be saved! w19.08 18-19 ¶15-17

Jehovah draws people even though they are your husband or other relative. Be tactful when speaking to them or inviting them. Jehovah will bless our efforts.

That's very true, sometimes it's hard to be tactful because we know our family or husband so well that it's easy to think that we could talk in a outright way... I find its always good to say a short prayer first.
