My husband is, and yes I too have supported him in decisions I wouldn't have made, and it all seems to work out. As far as being the spiritual head, it takes a special man for that. (One that will step up and do it.) I have a good man, and he's a wonderful husband, and father and loves the Lord. But he is not the spiritual leader of our home, never has been and says although he knows he should be, never will be. Someone had to do it when the kids were growing up, so it was left to me.I still make the decision every Sunday to go to church, and he follows suit.<br /><br />Funny how topics come up in conjunction with our study and verses. The husband and I had this very conversation on Sunday afternoon. ;)Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13077173669350770709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619960360822780022.post-26268640287119733692011-07-18T20:04:35.857-04:002011-07-18T20:04:35.857-04:00I am glad that you spoke your thoughts.

I have had friends that just could not believe that I have stood behind my husbands in some very big decisions that have happened in our life...and time has proven why we are to follow his lead.<br />One of the best books that I have ever read is that one by Zondervan publishing called "Love and Respect" or something similar. It really hit home about this subject.Miss Hillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422851284570747539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619960360822780022.post-17168143597005700132011-07-18T18:57:09.519-04:002011-07-18T18:57:09.519-04:00You said: He believes that when he gives an instru...You said: He believes that when he gives an instruction, it is to be carried out immediately, no questions asked. And I agree. There is a reason that God gave men the role of head of household; and I need to respect him even in disciplinary methods. My children need to know that instruction needs to be carried out without asking why. If anything, it is about them learning respect.<br /><br />I so agree with your husband. There is such a battle of power between women and men in modern times that it's easy to see where society lacks respect in all areas. I think men need to get back to Church and women need to let their men take care of them. I know I will get flack for this. I am not saying women need to walk 2 steps behind their husband but there has to be a balance and it falls on the men to lead by example. Women are suppose to be nurturers and we loose that by being the power house of the world. <br />Gosh I hope this is making some sort of sense. I am not trying to offend strong women. But according to the Bible we have our roles and both the males and females are not living up to them (as whole that is).<br />Tonya I so love this. You've allowed love and faith back into some many lost lives. I hope your husband blogs on here too - I think it's important for your male followers.Handmade Crafts Done While RVing Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628663676605282521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619960360822780022.post-87508233513266661822011-07-18T14:58:39.437-04:002011-07-18T14:58:39.437-04:00After reading your posts, I have to admit I'm ...After reading your posts, I have to admit I'm not a very good at accepting discipline either. Yes, I too get downright offended, especially at others when they point out my faults.

That has put a strain on the whole family. I do respect his "do-as-I-say-now-with-no-questions-asked" method, but like Tonya, I need to know why.<br /><br />Mine is V. 12.

Wh...I have to say verse 5 is the hardest for me. <br /><br />When bad (horrible) things happen, I question WHY?? It is hard to understand some things. I suppose it is not my place to understand. I'm working on this, but it is hard!!nonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02548534975441935725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619960360822780022.post-67455772917274871392011-07-18T09:40:54.582-04:002011-07-18T09:40:54.582-04:00Belinda---me too about those grown up children...m...Belinda---me too about those grown up children...mainly my daughter! I always ask her why she is disrespectful to me but is not to her dad but then she makes me feel better by telling me that she can be herself around me. She feels more comfortable saying what she thinks. I am still working on her about that respect thing....<br /><br />Jennifer--I get down right offended when I am disciplined. This is a HUGE struggle for me. As for your daughter, maybe she's showing her independence now and will be an angel when she's a teenager! (We can always hope, can't we??!!) You are not making me looking forward to doing this stuff all over again, *grin*!!Miss Hillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422851284570747539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619960360822780022.post-16456164321228416852011-07-18T08:36:09.993-04:002011-07-18T08:36:09.993-04:00I would say I have 2.

Verse 7 Assuming I know it all! and Verse 11 rejecting and sulking when corrected- since I know it all I am not wrong ;) I struggle with this in every aspect of my life. <br />I have a very strong will little girl (age 4) and currently am at my wits end on how to discipline her. Nothing seems to work. I am going to try a reward system. She is pretty good for others but she acts the same way with my husband as she does for me! So as a couple we are struggling with her! I too know that God has a reason for why she is so strong willed but I also need her to know that while she can have her opinions/feeling she has to respect others as well!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08011523381044922553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619960360822780022.post-46278486625493972582011-07-18T07:59:47.661-04:002011-07-18T07:59:47.661-04:00We are alike in that my discipline methods and my ...We are alike in that my discipline methods and my husband's differed. When my children were growing up, I could instruct until I was blue in the face, and even use corporal punishment and my children still acted up. All my husband had to do was look at them. They "feared" and respected him. And they knew he meant business in the strictest way. They still treat him with more respect than they do me. ;)They will say things to me they would never say to him. And that's frustrating at times.<br /><br />The hardest verse, for me is 7. I often spout out advice as if I'm Solomon himself. I seldom ask God for His wisdom first, but I'm working on that.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to your new pages when you get them up.Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13077173669350770709noreply@blogger.com
