The Wife Staying with a Husband Who Does Not Pray

Question
What is the ruling on the wife staying with her husband who does not pray?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: A wife should not be divorced if the husband neglects prayer out of laziness, unlike one who denies prayer, as that is disbelief. She remains his wife, and he bears the sin of neglecting prayer. It is upon the wife to continue encouraging him to pray, and God knows best.
