Stacey, Here is a little information from a commentary: Eph.22-24, How wives walk in the light: submitting to their husbands a. The command to submit to your own husbands is as clear as it is difficult; true submission is not only shown in our actions, but in our hearts - God wants us to be able to joyfully embrace submission. i. God commands of every believer submission to some level of authority or another; and as with all submission, wives find it easy to submit to their husbands when they agree, but difficult when they do not agree - but that is where our submission is tested. ii. Essential to the idea of submission is trust - trust in God (because submission to proper authority is always submission to God), more than a trust in the authority (whom God has the ability to by guide). iii. We think we display a lack of trust in the authority by our unsubmissiveness; what we really display is a lack of trust in God, who has commanded our submission. First, I rejoice with you for your deliverance from (his) addiction. I would recommend that you and your husband get counseling or join a recovery program, there are many great Christian groups, because there are many issues that you both still must work through. Paul writes about this in Romans 7:15-20. The process that you are going through is a natural one, but as I have mentioned, as you work and grow with others who have walked in the same path as you both have, and you'll gain the understanding that you seek. God will continue to strengthen both of you. This is my recommended reading to you: Romans 12:1-2 and Philippians 4:8 You have made the best decision that you'll ever make in all of you're life! God bless |
