Christian married women, do you need your man to hold you accountable in your walk w/God sometimes?

Question

Ladies, I was curious, do you appreciate it when your man fights for you to walk on the righteous road?

Answer 1

I'm married but not christian and my husband does not need to hold me accountable for any of my actions.  I wouldn't appreciate his interference in my personal spiritual choices either.  Part of being an adult is taking responsibility for ourselves.

Answer 2

lol........im married to an agnostic...Im on my own with God!!

Answer 3

Of course. Everyone needs accountability, and who better than your spouse to help hold you accountable?

Answer 4

The warmest feeling  and compliment a man can give his woman, lady, girlfriend, sister in the Lord, little girl, child,  friend or anyone  is to remind them that they are called to Jesus! If we are in the Lord and following Him we want a kinda check and balance thing going on!

I do love it when I see this demonstrated in my life because I feel covered with love, and protection.  And this can melt any and everyones heart when they are receptive and open to it...Amen!  God bless...Good question for both men and women to ponder on.  We all need to find the place the Lord has for us in this regard...it is so noble and good for men to do this and for us women to acknowledge their love and care! When done in real love...it begats love!  Both are submissive to this as one to another!  :)

Answer 5

Careful - there's a fine line between being controlling and helping someone on their path.

Answer 6

I am not married but I would have to answer yes. Of course nobody really likes it at the time but it is what is best. The bible says that the husband is supposed to wash his wife in the word and present her to the Lord without blemish. So yes I want my husband to hold me accountable out of his love for the Lord and for me.  Of course I would always hold my husband accountable and encourage and build him up in the Lord as well.  

Answer 7

I wish he would and sometimes he does, even tho my husband is not a Christian...yet. I became a Christian after 10 years of marriage. My husband still hasn't converted and if he does it will be all God's doing; I've prayed so long for it I'm tired out.

However he does help me sometimes. He has read the Bible and sometimes he will ask me a question in a little throw-away voice, like it's not important, that will keep me on the Way.

Yes, I do appreciate it! We all need support.

Answer 8

First of all, I am not a lady, I am a woman of God.  And yes, if it weren't for the man doing as the Bible instructs him to do, we (women) would not make it.

He even tells me when I am just plain wicked.

Answer 9

Yeah, I do because I think it's beautiful when both of us love Jesus enough to want to be faithful to him.

Answer 10

As a Christian married man, I certainly need my wife to hold me accountable in my walk with God.  Because marriage is a lifelong partnership, a wife sometimes needs similar help from her husband.

However, in my experience, we men need more help than do our wives.

Answer 11

I would appreciate it if he held me accountable, but unfortunately he doesn't choose to risk my emotional response to him doing this. I think I would feel like he was watching out for me. I'm not saying that I might not react against it if he just jumped on me, but if he came with concern for my life and said so I would like it very much.

As for the person who got fussy about being called a lady....I am a woman and I am a lady too!

Answer 12

As a Christian woman my husband did not hold me accountable in spiritual matters. I do believe that when God created Eve He did not create her from a bone in Adam's head lest she think she was above him, He did not create Eve from a bone in Adam's foot lest she think she was beneath him. He created Eve from Adam's rib so she could walk equally beside him. Marriage is a loving partnership in which cooperation is a necessity. We all need encouragement in our walk with the Lord, however, the last thing we need is condemnation by our marriage partner. The only person to whom we are accountable to is the Lord.
