Are you a full time counselor? jane valoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160952043726097661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-78633170676726990282014-02-09T21:22:48.092-08:002014-02-09T21:22:48.092-08:00I think you have a good point - and I could have s...I think you have a good point - and I could have said things better.<br /><br />I used 'obey' because of its place in the vows - what I was trying to express was the need to put the heartfelt interests of one's spouse first. 'Obedience' is not the right word, when I think about it.<br /><br />So - thank you! I will be more careful in the future. I don't want to be un-Scriptural, even by accident.<br /><br />And thank you for reading the book! I hope you enjoyed it.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13230537202427640540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-18308169136813714712014-02-09T21:14:29.182-08:002014-02-09T21:14:29.182-08:00This is an interesting post, and you have an inter...This is an interesting post, and you have an interesting writing style. (I have read your book, Blessed are the Pure of Heart.) However this post does not reflect what we have been taught through the Scriptures. Scripture tells us that women should be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord: because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church... Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it... So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife, loves himself... and they shall be two in one flesh... and let the wife fear her husband. (This does not mean the same as being afraid, but means respect.<br />I think that you love your wife and wish to please her, and so do things for her that she asks for, but to say that you are obedient to her is not right order. jane valoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160952043726097661noreply@blogger.com
