Is there a double standard in Baptist Marriages ?

Mr. M. it is quite apparant that you are also reacting based on your characterizations of anyone who attempts to question or disagree with your statements. Personally I do not find this topic constructive, nor do I wish to quarrel with anyone deadset in their opinions. Frankly, I have little time for such things. If you have not noticed, the participants in this thread have never implied that personal accountability flies out the window if one acts in retribution to perceived injustices in their marriage. That my friend is my point in this seemingly aimless dialogue. While the woman in your examples may be "misbehaving" when she refuses intimacy, complains, whines, or manipulates; she certainly is not doing such without being provoked, mainly by her spouse. Now, what can we logically infer from such a situation? Both parties are at fault, and each are accountable for their own actions. With that being said 4b4j, gave a perfect, and I believe godly, example of what a husband should do if he finds his wife "behaving" in such a manner you described, and you were not concerned with even attempting to discuss it with her. You were more content to continue on your rant of personable accountbility, which none of us have ever denied. Of course you will not find the discussion constructive at all.

Thank you for your comments Filmproducer. :thumbs:

The woman in my example was not given a cause for her misbehaving. YOU, my friend, injecting YOUR idea of the cause. And to assume that logic leads you to place the provocation on the husband is ludicrous. You need a lesson in logic. You have nothing from my example to assume ANY Cause other than your apparent gender prejudice. You are right however, this isn't a productive dialogue since your endeavor is to impose upon an example what isn't there. There are MANY causes for anyone's bad behavior and unwarrantably assuming the husband is the provocateur by in large only reveals an extreme gender prejudice. So yes, we'll leave this one be and find other companions for debate on this matter. Next please!

:laugh: Mr. M. you certainly are very amusing, if nothing else. Go ahead and question my logical and analytical skills all you like. It is readily apparant that you know nothing of logic. You keep proclaiming my gender bias, but you still will NOT admit both parties are at fault.
