I see it as a character trait the Lord has requested that I develop.<br /><br />"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6)<br /><br />I have searched the scriptures for exceptions to that rule and find none. Rather, I find story after story of wives who trust in God and in their husbands. <br /><br />I trust that God knows what He is asking when He asks me to submit to Him and to submit to my husband. <br /><br />I am grateful for the knowledge, peace and wisdom that come to me when I submit to the ways of God. It magnifies my soul and enlarges my self-esteem.<br /><br />SharonSharon Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00888969860359917900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1778851601993894910.post-34705922988659008472011-08-30T05:10:40.721-07:002011-08-30T05:10:40.721-07:00Sorry Kelly - I think you miss the point here. I ...Sorry Kelly - I think you miss the point here. I am a Christian wife, married to a man of deep spirituality. To call an obedient Christian wife a "worthless drone" is an insult to God - not to me. <br /><br />I do not do "whatever" my husband tells me. I try do "whatever" God tells me and I recognize that sometimes God's direction comes through my husband. I am blessed to know that my husband does not speak for himself in these matters. <br /><br />The amusing thing about your comment is seen by the people who know me. To know me is to know that the most inappropriate label for me is "subservient" or "blind follower". <br /><br />Thanks for sharing, Kelly. I hope that your aversion for my perspective will not cause you to close your mind and your heart to the word of God for you.<br /><br />SharonSharon Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00888969860359917900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1778851601993894910.post-37982477757404579842011-08-29T23:17:46.500-07:002011-08-29T23:17:46.500-07:00I have to admit I thought the same as Kelly.

He doesn't always agree with me but that is what makes our relationship what it is; strong and eternal with love. There is a name for how you feel, it is called co-dependency and psychologically speaking it is very concerning and unhealthy. I hope the best for you and your self esteem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1778851601993894910.post-32556677241298718652011-08-25T17:54:05.590-07:002011-08-25T17:54:05.590-07:00What a job!

Rather than take her to skid row, didn't he feel he was taking her to the "buffet" of all handsome men in the area, since indeed every frog must be a prince (according to fairy tale). I think I may have a much different take on the frog than you, rather than being a damaged shell of a man for this fine princess to pick, isn't the lesson to be learned that despite what may be on the outside, it is what is inside that counts. Because if within every frog lies a prince, than indeed it seems you have found said frog :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1778851601993894910.post-33745365316397882932010-12-28T10:18:02.801-08:002010-12-28T10:18:02.801-08:00Sorry about the work situation!
