Why do we have such a problem with OBEDIENCE?
Here in America it seems as though there is disgust
for the word obedience and submission.
As a Christian pastor, I believe that both men and women are equal in the eyes of God and are deserving of mutual love and respect within a marriage. However, obedience in marriage is a sensitive topic that requires careful consideration and understanding.
In many cases, the issue of obedience in marriage arises due to a lack of communication and understanding between partners. Women, in particular, may feel that their opinions and desires are not being heard or valued by their husbands. This can lead to a sense of resentment and resistance towards obedience.
Furthermore, some women may have experienced past trauma or abuse that makes it difficult for them to trust and submit to their husbands. It is important to recognize these issues and provide support and resources to help women heal and move towards a healthy, respectful relationship.
As a Christian pastor, I believe that obedience is not about one partner exerting control over the other, but rather a mutual commitment to love and respect. As we strive to build healthy and loving marriages, let us look to the teachings of Christ, who modeled love and servanthood to those around him. May we be filled with grace, patience, and compassion towards our spouses, seeking to understand their needs and desires. May we embrace the beauty of mutual submission and work towards building strong, loving relationships that honor God and bless those around us.
