Bible Question: How far should a woman have to go to submit to her husband? If he is physically or mentally abusive, surely she doesn't have to put up with that? What if it is a Christian woman and a non christian man? What if the man claims to be a Christian but is abusive towards his wife and children? |
Bible Answer: Dear Norrie, I believe that a woman should submit to a man in love, knowing that the man's role is to be the "Spiritual Head of the Household".. A man is the "priest", so to speak, of the family. If your husband is not saved, then your children and household are still sanctified because of your faith. In Ephesians 5:22-33, we see that husbands should love their wives just as Christ loved the church. If your husband is abusive towards you, then he is not practicing love! Norrie, I am a little curious about this question, so I will write you an e-mail. Take care! Nolan |
