Bible Question: My wife claims that the bible does not command the wife to love her husband, only vise versa? She also feels biblicily justified that she is seperate from me. I have taken a job in Wisconsin, she is still living in Oklahoma after seven months. What does the bible say about this? |
Bible Answer: Dear buckiii1, Greetings and blessings in Jesus' name! Brother, I get the idea that you feel that your wife has abandoned you. Before I denounce your wife for not loving and following you, thereby 'leaving' you, let me ask a few questions: 1) Do you and your wife share a unity of faith and basic doctrine? 2) Were you attending the same church? 3) As the head of the home, and pillar of Biblical authority, were you committed to this local fellowship, and submitted to the spiritual authority of the pastor? 4) Was this 'move to Wisconsin' guided by the Holy Spirit, founded on Biblical obligation, and under the spiritual counsel of your pastor? 5) Have you and your wife asked for spirtual help and counsel? After getting a feel for your situation from the answers to these questions, a public forum may be able to give you some sound advice, and/or answers to your question. On the other hand, maybe acting upon MY questions will give you the WHOLE answer. In Christ Jesus, charis |
