Bible Question: i'm a new practicing catholic...i dont really understand what the bible means by being submissive with your husband?? or really where to find it?? |
Bible Answer: naiera, I am an old practicing Catholic. See Ephesians, chapter 5. It does not mean being a doormat. It does mean being repectful and allowing him to lead the family spiritually and in other ways, encouraging him to do so and supporting him in that role. My mother, a very intelligent and strong woman, always presented a united front to the seven children with my father. If they disagreed on a matter she spoke her mind to my father in private and when the issue was resolved, whoseever way it went, it was presented by my father as the final word. You could not divide and conquer my parents by going from one to the other. My mother always said, ask you father what he thinks and come back to me. My father did the same in referring to my mother. One never undermined the other or spoke disrespectfully of the other and the most dangerous thing that you could do was to make my mother cry, especially at the time my father was coming home. That was to take your life into your hands. Respect! What goes around, comes around. Emmaus |
