I believe God is going to act according to His nature regardless of how wicked people are. I agree there. His nature is good and that never changes. I just don't see Him offering special covenant with Him free of conditions. His goodness is what blesses the wicked, nkt necessarily His love.

God does send the rain on both the fields of the righteous but there's also this verse. Psalm 5:5 KJV 5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. I believe God's love is perfect and sacrificial. But love by its own nature has requirements. Israel was...

God has standards for husband but wives have no real control over whether a husband lives up to them. We can be critical, angry, and complain but this will not drive a husband closer to God. When we put the focus back on controlling ourselves, being respectful, joyful, thankful, loving and...

Hi @PS95 Are you saying you believe God's love is unconditional?

Thank you to everyone who has dropped by my thread. I am fine with disagreement. My past self wouldn't have agreed with me either. I enjoy the discussion.

Are the things put forward realistic? Do you believe husbands are supposed to respond this way? Thanks for dropping by this thread, by the way.

How do you believe a husband should provide for his wife's emotional needs?

The ultimate example of love. A love that is sacrificial in nature. It cost the Father His Son to love us.

We disagree then.

I don't believe unconditional love is a thing. Everyone has conditions, even if one of them is just leave the one doing the loving alive. God has a standard or conditions for those He loves because He is love and knows what is best for us.

Yes

I am living the best days of my life. God has put me in green pastures. "Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers them out of them all."

No. It is sacrificial.

Receiving from our husbands is good. But we tend to love them the most when doing good things for them. Love blooms in service.

While I believe God's love for us is very sacrificial, I would not say it is unconditional or without requirements.

You can look up 'calisthenics' or 'bodyweight exercises' on youtube. Or you could start with 20 plus repetitions of pushups, squats, setups, and try to plank as long as you can for core muscles.

Not addressing men as a teacher. I just thought this was a beautiful descriptor of a Godly husband.

This woman is putting forth an impossible standard as if it ought to simply be expected. I wonder if she will still strive for intimacy on her end if these expectations aren't met. Can she reverse these toward herself? Is she going to respond to his anger with understanding and patience? Why...

When my children smile and laugh and they're happy, I get such an amazing feeling. Is this how God feels towards us? Such tenderness and joy?

I'm remembering that piles of dishes and potty training are producing an eternal weight of glory for the next life. They are also producing resilience and perseverance in me.
