Posted : 10 Oct, 2013 06:49 PM I love the way you ask that question (sarcasm)� instead of why not ask �a girl� why they did not wait to see if they are equally yoked according to Scripture before marriage and why doesn�t a man love his wife like �Christ�/ Messiah loves the church???

It's a good reminder. Post Reply

Posted : 10 Oct, 2013 09:25 PM Ya know, after reading the comments and re-reading the OP I don't think he's intending to ask the questions in an offensive way... tho it appears that way. I think he's asking the opinion of women for reasons as to why a woman or women would not submit to their husband/their man, by biblical reasoning, and assuming it's a marital type relationship... and then, is it right that a woman seek divorce from a man from a biblical perspective... Could be wrong but this is how I see the question was intended to be asked. I've not worded and also misinterpreted and commented wrongly on plenty of posts here as some may well know, and it's easy to read txt and assume the worst even for the edlers in faith here . Maybe it be good to ask for clarification of the question before jumping to conclusion??? just a thought folks... Post Reply

Cat4Christ777 View Profile History	why is divorce so rampant and also a last resort to a failed marriage. Posted : 10 Oct, 2013 11:22 PM Hi, Benexcel! I have a two-part answer for you. First, let me provide Scripture from 1 Peter 3. Verses 1-2 says, "Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the Word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives." It also says, in that same chapter, verse 7, "Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of live, so that nothing will hiinder your prayers." This means that, neither partner should 'lord it over' the other, but both should submit to each other out of love for Christ first, and then out of love and respect for each other. With that said, humans are human, and not perfect; not everyone is equally devoted to our Lord Jesus. This is why 2nd Corinthians 6:14 recommends being equally yoked, and not with a non-believer. As I'm sure all of us can agree, satan does his best to destroy every marriage he can by causing strife and difficulties to test the couple. To us, this only appears as 'life' getting in the way. Like, forced separations for long periods (not recommended by Scripture, for that might weaken a man's resolve to remain faithful to his wife) due to work schedules or military deployments. Now for part two: Back in 1992, I married a man I thought was Christian. I soon found out I was terribly wrong. In my case, both my husband and I were active in the U.S. military, but with different jobs. We ended up being placed on opposing shifts (I worked midnights and he worked days), so we could only see each other in passing. This situation lasted for several months. During this time, my husband began cheating on me with a woman from his work. When we finally were placed on the same shift, I found out about his unfaithfulness, and tried to work things out, but he refused. After destroying my trust in him, and ultimately our relationship, I had no choice but to divorce him. When a man is unfaithful to his wife, he disrespects her and breaks his covenant with Jesus (whom he went before to marry the woman). Jesus, Himself, said, in Matthew 5:32, "But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery." Unfortunately for me, the situation was reversed. I had no choice but to divorce my husband, over his unfaithfulness, for he would not change his ways. Through all our difficulties, I never once even thought about cheating on my husband; not even out of revenge. Well, Benexcel, I hope my story helps you gain some knowledge of how things can appear one way, yet be another. God bless you, brother! --Cat Post Reply
