AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 6:14 ¶ Do not be unequally bound together with unbelievers [do not make mismatched alliances with them, inconsistent with your faith]. For what partnership can righteousness have with lawlessness? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? |
Bible Question:
Looking for scripture but first of all thanks to all who have awnsered my previus questions, in the past. Ecspecially Emmaus with a post on question ID 108884. I read his reply on almost daily basis and it made alot of difference. May God bless those on this board who give good counsel from Gods word. Now another question I find my self dealing with today. MY wife, good at heart and attends church, is now "needing some time for herself, girls night" out on a regular basis. Not bar hoping but dinner or a movie. I have no quam with this but the girls, other then our daughter, our all single and non church attenders. My wife is faithfull today and I trust her but isn't this a path to danger. Is there any scripture I can show her to help me combat this. Or am I just be to cautious or jealous. I don't mean to air out my laundry, its just last time I got good adivse here, thought....okay lets see. |
Bible Answer: jr8 I think this verse may best address this situation. 2 Cor. 6:14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? I'm not a big proponent of "boys" or "girls" night outs, I think they can and often do lead to problems however I do understand the need to spend time with other people. Perhaps you need to reevaluate your social life. Do you and your wife have a social life? Are you seeing other people as a couple on a regular basis? Are you doing things together (other than sitting watching TV)? My wife and myself have a standing date for each Friday night. We at least go out to dinner but usually we try to also take in some activity (movie, another couple, special event, perhaps just a drive). Many times men are out in the world do to job and what not and want to just come home and sit while women may have a limited outside contact and get bored. Humans are basically social animals and women probably more so than men. Therefore you need to make sure you meeting your wife’s need in this area. I think if your wife needs a "girls" night out she should limit it to your daughter or Christian ladies. EdB |
