  • Hi y'all

    Greetings from the Bible belt!
    I'm Cherry, and I am having a problem with my Church rules.
    I'm getting married and my husband-to-be is very 'strict.'
    Why does my Church tell men that it's ok to 'discipline' their wives?
    I don't want to say I am going to obey, but if I don't agree to obedience my fiance will not marry me!
    If I don't get married...I can't even go there.
    I'm scared to ask anybody who knows me, and him.
    What if he is wrong about something? Do I still have to obey?
    How do I disagree with him once we get married?
    Please advise.

      Welcome to the forum, young lady. Now, any good Christian wife worth her salt would follow her husband blindly and support him no matter what (unless of course it goes against the Bible). The Bible mentions in multiple places that a woman's duty is to obey her husband.

      Colossians 3:18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord

      Titus 2:3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
      Titus 2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
      Titus 2:5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

      1st Peter 3:1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;


      So, I really don't see why you would have an issue with it. God commands you to obey your husband. Simple as that. As for being strict and being a disciplinarian, your future husband is only that way because he loves you deeply and does not want to see you err in your ways.

      Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
      Ephesians 5:23 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.
      Ephesians 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.


      Those verses right there draw a parallel to a man ruling over his wife, like Christ rules over us. We must remember that Christ shows us love and mercy, but will ruthlessly punish us if we ever stray from His teachings. Like so, a man has every right to discipline and punish his wife in order to keep her on the straight and narrow path and to provide fair justice.

            Hmm...... I believe that James has outed you as a troll, but just in case you are real.

            Reverend Osborne has given you the Biblical scripture backing up your husbands position. How old are you? I know from personal experience, the older you are when you're married, the harder it is to submit.

            If you truly feel that your husband is being unfair, then I would suggest that you speak with the Pastors at your church. Most Pastors take some form of marital counselling and should be able to help you.

              Cherry, the man is the head of the household. Do as he commands. Being the leader of a home, managed by a female is not an easy task. I'll offer this advice:

              Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return from work. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favourite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed.

              Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives.

              Gather up school books, toys, papers etc. and then run a dust cloth over the tables. During the colder months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction. Minimise all noise.

              At the time of his arrival eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first, remember his topics of conversation are more important than yours.

              Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax.

              Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and tranquillity where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit. Don't greet him with complaints and problems. Don't complain if he's late home for dinner, or even stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him lie down in the bedroom.

              Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange the pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice. Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness.

              Once he has had a chance to have his evening meal clear the dishes and wash up promptly. If your husband should offer to help decline his offer as he may feel obliged to repeat this offer and after a long working day he does not need the extra work.

              Encourage your husband to pursue his hobbies and interests and be supportive without seeming to encroach. If you have any little hobbies yourself try not to bore him speaking of these, as women's interests are often rather trivial compared to men's.
              At the end of the evening tidy the home ready for the morning and again think ahead to his breakfast needs. Your husband's breakfast is vital if he is to face the outside world in a positive fashion.

              Once you have both retired to the bedroom prepare yourself for bed as promptly as possible. Whilst feminine hygiene is of the utmost importance your tired husband does not want to queue for the bathroom as he would have to do for his train. But remember to look your best when going to bed.

              Try to achieve a look that is welcoming without being obvious. If you need to apply face-cream or hair-rollers wait until he is asleep as this can be shocking to a man last thing at night. When it comes to the possibility of intimate relations with your husband it is important to remember your marriage vows and in particular your commitment to obey him. If he feels that he needs to sleep immediately then so be it.

              In all things be lead by your husband's wishes, do not pressure him in any way to stimulate intimacy. Should your husband suggest congress then accede humbly all the while being mindful that a man's satisfaction is more important than a woman's. When he reaches his moment of fulfilment a small moan from yourself is encouraging to him and quite sufficient to indicate any enjoyment that you may have had. Should your husband suggest any of the more unusual practices be obedient and uncomplaining but register any reluctance by remaining silent.

              It is likely that your husband will then fall promptly asleep so adjust your clothing, freshen up and apply your night time face and hair care products. You may then set the alarm so that you can arise shortly before him in the morning. This will enable you to have his morning cup of tea ready when he awakes.
              Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
              Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
              Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
              Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
              Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
              Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

                Cherry (which I doubt you are), the Godly Brother James Hutchins has very nicely laid out your duties. Please heed his advice and do your wifely duty lest you be looked upon as a harlot.

                Don't thank me for this advice, it's the least I can do.
