Firstly, I believe that Paul's letters are included in the meaning of scripture. I think that this is how the first century Christians understood it and I think Paul knew it when he was writing them. Secondly, I agree that is circular logic. I take the bible as my highest authority - above my...

I don't believe the idea of scripture being inerrant is a 'man-made concept' because: All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Tim 3:16-17. If it is...

Luckily we didn't have any disasters like that couple. We had our honeymoon at the beginning of summer, but it was so cold it snowed. I didn't pack any shoes suitable for cold weather, so the first day we had to go shoe shopping. Now everytime we go away I tell him that I haven't packed the...

Sorry - I agree with your definition - I didn't realise the 'headship' issue was being contested. For me the book showed that it is possible to think you are letting your husband lead, but undermine his authority by being disrespectful. I'll let you all get back to your discussion now :-)

I love watching my daughter play. It is like I can see her learning about the world.

I don't understand why this issue is so divided, men v women (well, perhaps I can, but I don't know why it has to be that way). I am a woman and I want to show my husband the most love and respect I can. That is the commitment I made to him - irrespective of what my husband is instructed to do...

In Genesis 2:25 Adam and Eve are sad to be naked and unashamed. After the fall, in Genesis 3:7, Adam and Eve become aware of their nakedness. I have a young daughter (<1 year) that is unaware of her nakedness and seemingly unashamed. When she gets older and becomes more modest, is there a...

Trials in my life remind me that I am weak. As a fallen person I deserve the consequences of my sinfulness. God is not being unjust by allowing these things in my life. Recognising the gap between my actions and God's will emphasises the Grace he has shown to me. these verses remind me of the...

Chaz345 - I think that is correct. Also, the 'love' is different in Eph 5:25 and Titus 2:4. Eph has agape love and Titus has phileo love. This was commented on in the book and I wanted to look it up, but my husband has taken the book to read :-)

I'd like to nominate. I have zero experience using forums, but I am also looking for some accountability. My husband is a christian and I struggle with similar feelings of resentment, isolation and lack of love. This is partly due to his struggle with depression and partly due to the nature of...

thanks for that post. My husband struggles with depression and I have found it difficult to find anything about how I should respond. those responses a good, but I find it hard to keep saying 'We'll get through this' when I can't do anything about it. It is hard to keep hearing about his...

I've just finished reading this book. It took a bit to get into, but the second part (the 'how to' section) was really good. The author believes that love and respect are important for both husbands and wives. But wives instinctively know how to love their husbands. We don't need to be taught...
