    Sister (I am assuming that you are born again), you have to go to the Lord in prayer about this. If I were a good friend of your husband, I would talk to him that marriage is not only about him finding fulfillment but you also. If you weren't married to him and you were just dating (hint, hint single ladies) you could stop seeing him and wait and pray for a man that allows you to pursue your dreams but that is not the case here. You have to seek the Lord. Ask God to open his eyes and soften his heart. God will help you. He will satisfy your desire with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's (Psalms 103:5).

    Even if your place as a woman is at home my dear sister gone are the days when a woman will fold her hands at home 24 hours doing nothing. Is he sure he would not get bored with your constant demands? I totally disagree with him.

    Patiently talk about it with him gracefully during Happy moments. Try not to be harsh whenever you want to talk about it then, very importantly PRAY. if you've read the power of a praying woman, you'll be amazed at what prayer can accomplish. May the good Lord direct your path accordingly as to how to go about it to His own glory in Jesus mighty l Pray. Amen. Shalom!
