Admin	What if Posted : 9 Sep, 2012 08:34 AM Can a emotionally unstable man really lead? If a man is emotionally unstable and takes a wife, is it Ok for her to lead? What is meant by a helpmate anyway, doesn't it mean helping your spouse in any area that he may fall short? Please give Scriptures if possible, We all have opinions. lol Post Reply
View Profile History	What if Posted : 9 Sep, 2012 03:34 PM Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. (Eph 5:22-33 KJV) Post Reply

Apostelle View Profile History	What if Posted : 10 Sep, 2012 02:41 PM If your husband has a serious mental illness, then it is the duty of the wife to help him. Have him committed, protect the children, whatever it takes. Remember, the vows include "in sickness and in health" and mental illness is a sickness. Sometime you have to protect the ones you love from themselves. Post Reply
View Profile History	What if Posted : 10 Sep, 2012 03:11 PM Appstelle that is a interesting answer; and I agree. What many do not realize is there are many marriages out there that does not have a husband capable of leading. And, when that happens the wife becomes the helpmate. Or sometimes it ends in a divorce. Post Reply

You are the one who is drawing conclusions from the verses. Zao even reiterated "I did not say a thing." Yet, you ask him if he is sure that is what the scripture says and tell him to go get an understanding. Sister, the scripture says what it says. Zao is sure of that and so am I. Brother Zao never made any claims about what that scripture says or doesn't say. You are the only one who is making such a claim. Post Reply
