When my wife and I became married, we agreed on basic political and Christian issues.

Over the years, she has become more left-leaning and further away from God. Our daughter, who is now 18, still lives at home and has decided to

enter a romantic relationship with another female. I'm not sure how to handle this situation,

especially when I'm the only one who is still in the faith and

is heartbroken over this information. I don't want to allow this relationship of sorts to

continue while she is still living at home. My daughter knows my opinion on this topic, and

knows I still love her. However, I'm troubled wondering if by doing nothing more than discussing

this with her, that I'm enabling this situation.

What's the best way to discuss this with my wife?

What are the best options to use for situations like this?

Thank you very much for your advice.
