Bible Question (short): Gen. 2:24 or Ex 20:12?? |
Question (full): Hello Saints, I am asking a pretty difficult question, but this is because I have been placed in a very difficult situation. I am married, recently, and very happy with my husband. His mother on the other hand has all but said that she hates me. We were engaged for 2 1/2 years and went out for 8 months before that, so this is no fly-by-night relationship and I can't see how she didn't see our marriage coming. She is a Bible-toter, that doesn't live her life in any accordance to the Word, with the way she acts and treats others. (Ohh goodness, her mouth is atrocious!!) My husband and I are concerned about obeying Ex. 20:12 and honoring her. We recently heard Chip Ingram's program and he stated that if parents are bringing a wedge between husband and wife then honoring (in our case right now he is listening to her speak negatively about me, our relationship, etc. instead of ignoring her) the parents is not the case. And that in this instance parents should not be honored. I wanted to know if this is Biblical advice, because we are stuck between wanting to honor her and trying to cease the problems in our marriage, because of her negativity. Please answer with Scriptures, if possible. Thank you and God bless. |
