by Larry Solomon from Biblical Gender Roles – Why Unity in Marriage Has More to do With the Wife Than the Husband
Editor’s note: Larry starts this off by claiming that there are 5 steps to achieving marital unity and they can be summed up simply – Have sex, husbands sacrifice a little time talking to the woman and the woman must submit in every way plus never say an unkind word ever to the husband. Seriously, Larry thinks that the husbands only responsibilities towards unity are screw and listen to her a few minutes daily? It is just not that simple Larry old boy!
Even if the words of a wife to her husband are wise, if they are delivered in a contentious or angry manner to her husband they will lose their intended effect and will cause the unity in the marriage to decline rapidly.
Also, a woman should always understand the position from which she offers advice. She is not her husband’s mother, his teacher or his authority. He is her authority and Biblically speaking his authority over her is even greater than that of her father’s.
A woman should view herself as a subject which gives counsel to her King and remember the Scriptures exhortation to wives to be “in subjection unto their own husbands”(I Peter 3:5).
QUOTING QUIVERFULL is a regular feature of NLQ – we present the actual words of noted Quiverfull leaders, cultural enforcers and those that seek to keep women submitted to men and ask our readers: What do you think? Agree? Disagree? This is the place to state your opinion. Please, let’s keep it respectful – but at the same time, we encourage readers to examine the ideas of Quiverfull and Spiritual Abuse honestly and thoughtfully.
