Despite the mutual exclusivity of the various god beliefs, I appreciate the way she is able to rationalize other believer's mistaking (according to the Bible) beliefs.Actually she is using the word in the same way but you are assuming different definition as you don't feel "faith in my husband" can mean the same as "faith in God".
My only problem in this discussion is the 2 different ways she is using the word 'faith' to equivocate her husband's love for her, and the existence of her god.
She may trust them both and mean by that "faith," but her belief that each of them exists is entirely different from each other. For the one, there is evidence, but not for the other. She is playing a game with the word "faith," pretending that a case with good evidence is the same as a case without evidence.
