They do talk the talk so ...I agree with you Karen.<br /><br />They do talk the talk so well when it comes to what they term 'soft theology', but I guess they never figured out their stand on this stuff?

The Bible says "Husbands love your wives as Christ loves the Church." The Bible doesn't say "husbands love your coworkers, strangers, etc. as Christ loves the Church." His obligation is to his wife. Women are typically encouraged to continue to hang in there, not expect anything, etc. It is ridiculous to ask a spouse to be so emotionally detached as to not expect anything! As the author said "Emotional detachment is not God's will in marriage."<br />I bet if a person went to a leader in the church and complained that their best friend, boss or sibling was emotionally or physically abusive, the counsel would be to stay away and literally detach from such a person or relationship. What often happens is that the marital relationship seems to have lower standards and expectations that one might expect from a superficial relationship.<br />It is not God's will for us to be verbally or physically abused in marriage! Plain and simple. While I agree that the purpose of marriage is not necessarily to make you happy, on the flip side, it shouldn't be the place where you are abused and encouraged to endure it for the sake of Christ.<br /><br />I think Christ tells us that we are to separate from an infidel and a spouse who is chronically abusive is an infidel. We shouldn't have to be "pledged" in our own homes. It is not unreasonable to expect an atmosphere of emotional and physical safety in our homes.Karen Robinsonhttp://www.mocharulesgirl.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10948559.post-29018682358307312842011-07-15T19:50:16.396-05:002011-07-15T19:50:16.396-05:00lol

You don't view things their way, and they hint at men being wimps and silly stuff like that.<br /><br />Its sad at how so out of touch they truly can be a times.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15165967476661656865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10948559.post-60376604219161845162011-07-15T19:35:40.044-05:002011-07-15T19:35:40.044-05:00I wonder what they would say if a married man said...I wonder what they would say if a married man said its all a bunch of bs would they call him jezebel :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
