Bible Question: When does a wife not have to obey her husband? |
Bible Answer: Madrina: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! We are to obey the Word of God. If a husband demands you to do something immoral, or illegal you are justified in saying no. Your first love and responsibility is to the Lord, then to your husband. A true man of God will not ask you to disobey God and His Word. As a Christian we are totally the opposite of a Muslim woman, who would have no choice in such circumstances. If this is a real situation you are asking about contact your Pastor, your families, or other Christians who have imput in his life. A woman is never hopeless or helpless. Blessings. justme |
