Greetings friend,
We're learning more about what submission really looks like today. In a
nutshell, a wife is to be submissive to her husband in all things, unless he
asks her to sin. Examples of how her husband might ask a wife to sin include:
1) Forbidding her to go to church, in which case she must disobey him, making
sure that his resentment is not because she has such a good time with her
Christian friends.
2) Forbidding her to talk to the children about God. She must disobey him here,
also, but she can ensure that her teaching them about the Lord does not
interfere with his schedule or offend him in any way.
3) Asking her to participate in pornography or other sexual immorality. She
must refuse, and in this case, if her husband is a Christian, she must take
steps to biblically reprove her husband according to Matthew 18:15-17 and help
restore him to fellowship with God.
4) Forbidding her to reprove him. This is the fallacy that many Christian wives
labor under. A Christian husband might consider a wife’s reproof as lack
of respect and submission to him. So both husbands and wives must learn what a
biblical reproof looks like--to give and to receive.
Please consider updating your mentor on how you are doing, how your marriage is
progressing, what you are learning and how you are implementing it, etc. at
least once a week. We do care about you and want to know how we can best pray
for you and help with counsel.
