Bible Question: Where is there guidance for a Christian wife of an alchoholic husband. He forbids her to do something, the Bible says she should submit. Where do you find guidance for standing up to him? |
Bible Answer: Dear eileen8, God richly bless you, I can only imagine what you are going through. My first response is "love knows no bounds, has no limits, for Christ's sake forgives and forgives. However, I do not know all you are going through. There may be a Christian web site but it has been my experience that so much advise is not Biblical. I know this sounds self serving but please see my personal profile. I have just published a book on Agape-Love which will answer many of your questions. Tough love must at all times be Biblically tough love. If it is unbearable and you feel God is absolutely telling you so then a conditional seperation could be the answer. Never lock the door nor turn out the light. If you must give him an ultimatum then make sure he understands "the decision is up to him." He can come back or you will return "it's up to him." Always leave the door open and the light on. Hope this helps. God grant you the wisdom and strength to see it through. Remember love, Biblical love, always hopes the best, seeks the best, and anxiously looks for a restoration, no matter what. InGodITrust |
