Yesterday I talked about seeing all the options, even those not mentioned or offered.
As difficult as this is for many of us, it’s far more difficult for women. Traditionally society hasn’t wanted women to step out of narrow, prescribed lines. It’s not as bad as it once was, but it’s still a factor; especially in some church circles.
I’m not talking about being liberated here. Yeah, some of what that entails is included in what I’m talking about, but it goes well beyond what I mean.
God make you a unique person with a unique purpose. He did the same for your wife. He didn’t call either of you to be a clone of your same-sex parent or any other person. There are those who don’t want you to be who God called you to be for their own reasons. There are even more folks who want to limit your wife.
Part of headship is being your wife’s advocate. That included defending her from well-meaning but misguided folks who think they know better than God who she should be.
If your wife tends to push back against folks who want to put her in an ungodly box, then you joining her in that will be appreciated and sufficient. If your wife has learned to just go along you will need to help her stretch. Be gentle, but don’t let her fear keep her from becoming the woman God called her to be!
