Bible Question: hello everyone.well my boyfriend has been reading the bible and he is really taking it to heart and thats fine with me but, he says that it says in the bible that once you have intercourse you are married and now that we are some what married he says that in the bible it say that the wife is a servant to the husband. and now he is demanding me to do stuff for him he's like " you better clean me house, or you better have my meal done when i get home!" i used to enjoy doing these things for him because he would ask so nicely and would treat me very good and make me feel loved but every since he read that scripture in the bible hes treatin me like a slave. and when i say "can you please ask me alittle nice to do stuff for you " he says,"your suppose to do what i say according to the bible and if you dont your sinning" and all i want from him is a please and thank you and he says that he doesnt have to say that because it doesnt say to say that in the bible and he says it doesnt say he need to be nice according to the bible. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME SHOW HIM THAT HE IS SUPPOSED TO ATLEAST TREAT ME NICE, HE WILL ONLY GO BY WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS. and when i tell him about ephesians 5:22-33 all he says is well there has to be more to it. can any one tell me some more verse in the bible that i can show him for he can stop treating me this way. I REALLY MISS HIM BEING NICE LIKE HE USED TO BE. |
Bible Answer: Dear Jessica, Give him Mark 12:31, but read also verse 30. Is he a believer? Are you a beleiver? If yes, go, get married. You are not husband and wife in the eyes of God, but a man and a woman committing adultery. Your boyfriend claimed that you are "some what married" because of your sexual relationship. Understand that "some what" means not true. If he wants to follow what the Bible teaches, make yourselves truly as husband and wife under God's standard. You have shown him Eph 5:22-33. He should take note on verse 25 as well. Corinthians 7, Colossian 3 and 1 Peter 3 talk about the duty of both husband and wife. Since you are not his wife and he isn't your husband, what does he have to do with the verse concerning the relationship between husband and wife? Let me go back to Mark 12:31, I would ask him if he is also willing to be treated by you or others like a slave? He cannot use the verse that seemingly favour him. Both of you, please repent of your sin and stop the sexual relationship. Get married if you truly love each other. Shalom Azure |
