Sometimes it's hard to show respect...; When the husband is wrong

It has been a constant struggle for me recently to bite my tongue when my husband is wrong or chooses a path that is against God's way of things. He has asked me to lie recently (not for him, but to avoid difficulty with my mother, who can be difficult sometimes) and I have at least chosen to honor God with my honesty rather than disobeying him under the illusion that I'm honoring him with my obedience.

Sometimes, though, there are just times when it's difficult to speak respectfully when I know that my husband is doing something that God wouldn't want from him. I try to guide him through my own behavior rather than a nagging tongue, but I am such a new Christian myself that sometimes my Bible knowledge isn't quite enough to really be a guide and support for him.

Is this something that you've ever experienced? How do you react when you strongly disagree with an action that your husband takes?
