I know this is getting to be a long thread and An old thread, but I thought it important to keep it all on one area rather than a dozen small ones in hopes someone someday can find this more easily to help in their own situations. we are down to the week before this happens. She has confirmed that she is still going. I’ve Been praying morning, noon and night through this all since it first surfaced. I find it interesting she came to me the other night with changed motives. It was several months ago she claimed she had to go to be there “for her brother”. Now she is shifting position and saying she is only going for the day and is only going “for her mother”. I’m praying for a miracle that when it comes time she just can’t do it.
It’s at this time though I feel I need to prepare myself and get my mind right for what I should do and what is appropriate response . So I’m welcoming council on how a Christian man and husband is to lovingly approach this. Do I let it go, forgive and continue on with life as normal as if this never happened? I get the feeling this has this revealed something worldly hidden In my marriage where the roles of marriage are all messed up. I could be wrong but When I read scripture Holy Spirit highlights certain passages that talk about the quarrelsome/nagging wife Proverbs 27 15-16 and again scriptures that show the marriage headship design
It would at my reading and understanding of biblical Marriage roles suggest that I have revealed that I may have a wife who does not respect my head position in the marriage. Her words give service to the position of husband but am I to take her action as being un-submissive to my position? Do I confront it as I feel I might need to? Or just let it go. Forgive and try to forget. Am I reading into this too much for this reason I’m Seeking wise counsel. I’m also open to the suggestion of marriage counseling although I don’t think she is because the last time I suggested that for another separate issue she went ballistic at me even mentioning it. Thoughts?
