<DIV> Yolanda,</DIV>
<DIV> I apologize for not writing sooner. I believe that in an abusive case
that is <U>one</U> of the reason's. It really depends on the circumstance.( This
is all stuff I have observed & situations I have seen
before <STRONG> & also </STRONG>through reading the Bible
have come to these conclusions. I might not be married but I observe a lot of
things & read a lot so I am not the dumbest person when it comes to this
subject. For example Jack might treat his wife Jill like junk, He
might " walk all over her like she is a rug". He might treat her like a slave
& he might just be totally stubborn & set in his ways selfish, & not
think about her. In cases like that well then a woman needs to stand up to a
certain extent for there rights as a human. The other thing a married
person once told me was that it doesn't always help to get " huffy" & that
you need to talk things out.<STRONG> Some churches I have been
to talked all about the wife having to obey the husband but they
never talked about the way Christ teaches the husband to respect & love
their wives ! The wife needs to respect the husband as the leader of the home
but the husband is also obligated to make the wife feel loved ect...... I
forget which chapter & verse in the Bible but is says for the husbands to
love respect their wives.. WAIT HERE I just found it on my Bible program... Eph
5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave
himself for it;<BR> Col 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter
against them.<BR>(KJV)</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG> Those
are the two main ones I could find but I am sure there are
more....</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG> Hope you
could understand everything I wrote :) ( I always do my e-mail
late cause thats when I have the most time so I almost fall asleep while typing
& sometimes what I type doesn't make sense when I am tired
:)</STRONG> If I missed any of your questions or if you have any more feel
free to ask.</DIV>
