NASB | Ephesians 5:33 Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband. |
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]. [1 Pet 3:2] |
Bible Question: When the Bible speaks on leaving your fathers house once married. Doesn't that mean leaving your fathers last name as well? I noticed that the geneology in the Bible always falls on the male side. Aren't you suppose to take on your husbands name and completely take off your fathers? |
Bible Answer: Greetings - the use of a surname did not even come into common practice until after 1000 AD. The use of the husband's name is not a matter of law but rather tradition in some cultures. There is no Biblical mandate for this. If the husband feels strongly that his wife take his surname, then out of respect (love of course promts this!) she should honor her husband. Yet if the woman feels strongly about keeping her birth surname, her husband should honor her desire in the same way (prompted by love). I know different couples with the same last name, some with two different names and others who use both surnames. Frankly, this is a matter for the couple to decide and we as outsiders would do well to respect their wishes. Blessings, mommapbs |
