1 | How do I submit and not lose my self. | Titus 2:4 | browngal | 168222 | ||
I am recently married my husband is much younger than I and he has been called to proclaim the gospel. I am not perfect but I am an intelligent person who wants to love her husband. He has done things in our marriage that are just plain not Godly. As I said I am not perfect either. I know to submit to my husband but what if I believe he has gone too far in not allowing me to be an individual. I share most things with him, but he wants to control everything I do. I can't go to the store without him calling my cell phone and having a conversation with me until I come back. If I am wrong I need to know. I want to do better in life with him but he won't move. He is not working at the moment and he is not looking and everything is on me and he takes the money that is being brought home from my paycheck and he spends on things I don't know about, and things I do like gambling. When I say to him I need to pay obligations and if I pay them he says that I do what I want to do and I am not submitting to him. I then give him the money to let him take care of things and still he does not. I want to know I am not submitting to him when I know what he is doing is wrong and I am only trying to do what is right by paying our bills and also submittiing by giving him money. Giving him the money makes no sense to me, until he says I am not submitting. | ||||||

Dear Browngirl, The forum is not really intended to be a place where counsel is to be sought or received. We encourage you to seek direction from your pastor and elders. Indeed, you should find a Godly older woman to instruct you in your new life as a wife. God brings a variety of forces to bear in our lives so that we will not trust ourselves, but will trust in Him (2 Corinthians 1:9). Your husband belongs to God and is accountable to Him. God is fully able to direct his heart as He sees fit (Proverbs 21:1). Your purpose in life is bring glory to God in a life of service to Him and your family. If you focus on eliminating the idols of your own heart, the issues that others have around you will grow insignificant. Furthermore, you will be in a greater position to minister the grace that God has given you when the time is right. There are two books that I would recommend to you: "The Excellent Wife" by Martha Peace, and "Let me be a Woman" by Elizabeth Elliot. Both of these women offer soundly Biblical advice regarding the task that is ahead of you. I'd also suggest that you begin to praise God and thank Him that your husband is a believer seeking to serve the Lord. In Him, Doc |
