I'm not at all at home with the proof-texty and fundamentalist approach you're taking, especially given your special interest as a man. When a wife decides her husband's abuse, either physical or psychological or both, is no longer worth her continued support, not in her own interest as an all-dimensional human creature female of God, and a waste of her life, time, and energy; she has no constraint to remain "married" (which is in these kinds of cases is a form of slavery). Just because Paul is overly specific, doesn't mean we should take his offerings as timely in the manner of Shariah. Reading this, I would never vote to accredit you for pastoral care of women, or men for that matter. Very sorry to have to say this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14655588.post-1150424833999744002006-06-16T03:27:00.000+01:002006-06-16T03:27:00.000+01:00Celal of Icarus Redeemed: Sorry, but I have to re...Celal of Icarus Redeemed: Sorry, but I have to register my dissent from your statement, "Of course, the abused wife should not be the first to seek divorce (1 Corinthians 7:10-16)."

(hypothetical of course, my marriage isn't like this)<BR/><BR/>Could it be argued that a physically abusive husband IS being unfaithful? Not sexually unfaithful and not unfaithful in terms of seeing another woman. But still unfaithful in that his physical abuse goes against the promises he made to his wife in their vows and therefore unfaithful in nature having broken his promises.rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03020509228096369238noreply@blogger.com
