I have received a message today from a lady and I am wondering that is she right or not?
Message: This is a quote from what you sent in an e-mail to me “But I still confused for why I should stay in a marriage if I can't love my husband anymore and I just feel like I have to leave him again if my love for him is gone. So, please tell me what can I do"? Part of your duty to him is to never divorce him. Love is not just a feeling but also a commitment to stand by your husband no matter what. Leaving for a short time, which is called “separationâ€, is perfectly fine. The only problem was when you were vulnerable you became intimate with another man while being married. Stay with your husband not based on your feelings but to receive the blessing of God and your marriage will begin to prosper.
1 Peter 3:1-6
1Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. 5For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, 6like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
My answer:
Thanks for writing and your advice! But I am wondering that should wives submissive to their husbands no matter what, even without mutual love? One of my best friend (she is a Christian) who tell me that it is wrong to stay with my husband if I don't love him and especially it is wrong to accept his love when he's trying to make love to me - actually have sex with me. That's the main point for me to think about I have to leave him again as soon as possible because I will be going crazy to doing this with him and it is unacceptable for me now. I don't mean to against you or God, but it is just the way it is. I am sorry for saying this but it is the truth.
P.S. I loved my husband before but any more now but love him in family way.
I have a story on my page here: http://360.yahoo.com/my_profile-.1D8ZsM8erQzBETkA1iUS_ABtSSpjg--;_ylt=AsNQfoy35Yj4TVZXaOolTzXaAOJ3?cq=1 so, please give me some of your opinion and thanks!
