Doctrine is important, but if you can work it out through grace you can make it. Great insight.

Love is patient. Love is kind... approach everything with love & grace, God will take care of the rest ❤️ God bless you for your insight & bond🙏🏻

HUSBANDS - LOOK AT YOUR WIFE REGULARLY throughout a conversation with others! You HURT your wife if you do not reassure her by looking at her once in a while in situations like this.

[@DaBearsManiac2]

Please tell me you're joking.

[@Vikingshop]

@@DaBearsManiac2... No I am not joking. And every Christian man with the slightest knowledge of the Word of God knows that. I can recommend "Love-Life for Every Married Couple" by Ed Wheat.

[@DaBearsManiac2]

@@Vikingshop Whatever simp programming you received from that book, I want none of it. A woman doesn't have to be involved in every conversation you have, no matter if she's present or not. That's not her job. Nor does she always have to be acknowledged whenever you speak to someone. Stop putting women on pedestal.

@@DaBearsManiac2 - God made Heaven and Earth - and saw that it was Good. Then he made Man - but saw that something was lacking. Then he made the second part of the Unified Body called Marriage. I.e. One Man and One Woman - as One. An Unbreakable Unity - made in the very image of God. A Unity created to Glorify his name (Ephes. 5). I am sorry you dont understand the MAGNITUDE of this intimate, all-consuming relationsship ... RADICALLY different than the poor copy the children of this World try to accomplish. A Divine Unity, called to mirror Heaven on Earth. I will pray that God will give you wisdom and understanding when it comes to His Image on Earth (Marriage).

[@DaBearsManiac2]

@@Vikingshop This unity was created (along with our sex drive) to a be living Icon of God's relationship in the Trinity. It's what we Orthodox Christians call a sacrament. It's something that would be considered 'good', even outside of our religious dogma. It's good because it's true. However, the Idea that men and women need marriage to glorify God, or that male headship or patriarchy is a perversion of this is quite laughable. Some of the most holy men throughout church history were monks or men choosing the life of celibacy. Furthermore, there were never any mention of the Wives of the 12 apostles because the Husbands were sufficient in the representation of their family. They didn't need to add their wives faces into everything they did, even though they obviously were Christians and played a role as well.

I happen to know quite a few very mature couples were one in egalitarian, and one is complementation and it works great, fantastic. . Especially if the man is egalitarian and the woman is complementation. If the man is complementation and the woman is egalitarian, it works pretty well if there are spiritually mature, and a little less well if they aren't!

[@jayson3843]

It’s not really about Bible college though. A man either knows the Word/ways of God better or he doesn’t.

[@jessyjonas4988]

* When the Spirit of truth comes He will lead into ALL TRUTH." John 16:13✝️ Bible college does not equal The Holy Spirit the greatest teacher You are both in your roles According to the Holy Scriptures If anyone starts talking garbage The more educated - educated garbage Anything that does not line up With the Word Prayer and counselling

[@SantaFe19484]

I do want to be part of church that teaches pacifism and Lent. Both are extra unbiblical rules. I do want to marry a woman who makes to be part of such a church.

[@AWDTH1111]

+SantaFe19484 Since both are extra unbiblical, don't you mean you *do NOT want to be part of one?

[@SantaFe19484]

Phillo127 Yes I meant to say do not.

[@AWDTH1111]

SantaFe19484 Oh ok didn't mean to nitpick just wanted to make sure.

[@SantaFe19484]

Phillo127 Accidentally omitting words is always a problem on social media.

[@AWDTH1111]

SantaFe19484 Exactly that's why i figured you meant to put *not

I would like to find a man that is intrested in god, intrested to get to know jesus. intrested in studying the bible, not a know it all. someone who values and respects god and jesus. Is a condition of the heart not the brain.

[@alkimalk2922]

both people's doctrines should line up not less than 100%. The woman has to submit to the man's doctrines 100%. A divided house cannot stand.

[@SlaveofChrist1]

The man should still study at an accelerated rate so he can lead in doctrine. If your wife knows more than you than you can't lead her because you need her to educate you. While that's fine in a sense it should not be the posture of the husband

[@alkimalk2922]

Fred Jan That is irrelevant since the woman ought to follow her husband as her husband follows the Lord God Jesus. This has nothing to do with "knowledge".

[@SlaveofChrist1]

Alki Malk Yeah, absolutely. I mean a man should love his wife and lead and the woman needs to honor and submit no matter what. I was just saying that when the man studies the Bible more thoroughly then it does help to make him the teacher of his family on the Bible is all. I was only speaking toward the man's responsibility to be a godly, loving, biblical leader. The woman's role is to submit regardless, I agree.

[@alkimalk2922]

Fred Jan Yes you are absolutely right. It is the man's responsibility before God and his family to keep all his focus on the Lord God Jesusat all times and the woman has an equally important role, and that is to help the man to keep his focus on the Lord. That is because it is in the woman's most interest that the man follows Christ for then she will know that she is in "perfect" condition and that is happiness for both and the entire family.

[@Hannodb1961]

If there is a doctrinal difference between the man and wife, then it is not as simple as the woman should follow the man, but rather both should examine their own doctrines and test it against Scripture. The man might actually be wrong. A difference in doctrine is an opportunity for both husband and wife to study and grow closer to God.
