This reply has been a great comfort to me. :) My faith is such a big part of who I am, but I never want to push or force my beliefs on anyone. <br /><br />You know, I think I did that about the passage in Ephesians. I mean, I read about women submitting to their husbands, and that husbands were to love their wives, but I didn't understand that their role went past just loving us. I did think the men got off kind of easy before. ;) But now, realize HOW MUCH they are actually supposed to do. That is a heavy load to bear, and as his wife, I have to have reverance for his position, he has not been given an easy talk, and I have to respect that he is accountable for how he leads me. WOW. <br /><br />I am becoming more comfortable... well... knowing right now, the comfort is just starting to come. It's all still so big at times. But God and the Duke will get me there. :)Es Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15862166523815621955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879991995070741632.post-68228936873341346852013-04-01T08:31:46.036-03:002013-04-01T08:31:46.036-03:00You are welcome. :) Thank you, TL, for reading. :...You are welcome. :) Thank you, TL, for reading. :)Es Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15862166523815621955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879991995070741632.post-65024562164152902112013-04-01T08:01:57.360-03:002013-04-01T08:01:57.360-03:00Never be embarrassed about sharing your faith Es M...Never be embarrassed about sharing your faith Es May. While people come from many faiths and perspectives, overall I have found blogland to be a very spiritual place and we can all learn from each other.<br /><br />About the Ephesians passage--I find it fascinating that we often get stuck on the "wives, submit to your husbands part" but when men really focus on the piece that is their responsibility, when they realize what kind of love we need it makes us realize how big this is and how it truly goes both ways.<br /><br />Glad you are figuring out how it works for you two and are becoming more comfortable with your own needs.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00511114118020790717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879991995070741632.post-25983837542994426062013-03-30T20:39:02.897-03:002013-03-30T20:39:02.897-03:00Great post.

I already knew that a man is judged by what he allows his family to do or participate in. In allowing I don't mean judged by what his family does, but what he doesn't address. My husband also struggles with punishing me. I think he just feels sorry for me that I have pain and depression anyway. He doesn't want to add to my pain. I try to tell him that I hurt myself by giving in to my pain and depression, and making me non-functional. I need his "encouragement" more than his "sympathy." He has stepped up a few times, and has learned not to hold back so very much during a punishment, like he used to. He also swats me pretty hard with his hand even in playful spanking. I think that it will FINALLY happen eventually, but it is such a very slow process. God bless you and yours, and Happy Easter!!Belle Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222752720181960143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879991995070741632.post-72179122235438711572013-03-29T21:00:31.800-03:002013-03-29T21:00:31.800-03:00I thought it made a lot of sense too, I just wish ...I thought it made a lot of sense too, I just wish I'd realized before how on track we are. :) And thank you. :)Es Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15862166523815621955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879991995070741632.post-85183056730656065392013-03-29T20:59:51.532-03:002013-03-29T20:59:51.532-03:00Thank you, Bob. :) I wouldn't say it's a ...Thank you, Bob. :) I wouldn't say it's a great book, but it does have a couple of great points that I really like.
