AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 5:33 However, each man among you [without exception] is to love his wife as his very own self [with behavior worthy of respect and esteem, always seeking the best for her with an attitude of lovingkindness], and the wife [must see to it] that she respects and delights in her husband [that she notices him and prefers him and treats him with loving concern, treasuring him, honoring him, and holding him dear].

Bible Note: Greetings Joe - great observation! I agree, church discipline is sorely lacking in many arenas. I believe that if we took this aspect of our relationship with others in the body seriously, we would have far less discord in our midst. Frankly, I am not aware of any woman that I know in this situation taking her issues to the elders. Good suggestion for me to pass along as necessary. (Now, I wonder how the elders will respond to this? Accountability works both ways.) Right now I thank God that he has given me a Godly husband who takes his role as spiritual leader in our family very seriously! Thanks again for your note! mommapbs |
