Obedience in Marriage II
What makes a religious gain merit for her obedience to her superiors? It is that in obeying them, she obeys the voice of God.
In marriage, the wise and considered opinions of our spouse is also the voice of God for us. What my husband tells me, in response to a question, is something I am called to consider and not take lightly, as he too is a channel of the Holy Spirit in my life.

We are not alone in our responsibilities as mothers, but have been given a tremendous gift in our husbands. Given the good will of both spouses in a marriage, when one is floundering and in need of guidance, the thoughtful insights of our husbands are something to take seriously.
If my husband has serious concerns about an issue, or tells me what he thinks is best, or expresses an opinion about something in my life or our life in common, I need to listen to him - just as I would listen to Christ. So many times, we can dismiss his words or take them lightly.
Scripture reminds us to 'obey our husbands as the Lord' and that means to realize God speaks and acts through him too.
