Re: An Obedient Wife ..
I can’t answer the question because I don’t have the marital experience. I don’t think anyone can give you a number or percentage that represents their level of obedience or compromise. So, I’m just going to share a thought that occurred to me for the first time when I read the beginning of your post. Obedience entails compromise and surrender. If men are supposed to be “loving and caring”…then these two adjectives also entail compromise and surrender. When you love/care for someone, you naturally compromise and sometimes surrender for them. In religious references I’ve often read the word “mercy” used for the feeling in the hearts between both husband and wife and this “mutual” mercy entails compassion, compromise, surrender. The actions we associate with obedience are for both partners, the degree of it might vary, but it’s there for both of them…it’s not mean just for the wife. Lol, maybe I’ve stated what is an obvious to others…but it’s the first time I’ve thought about the wording this way.
