I suppose I need to just let my husband the head of the house quite working on that teenagers car and we will give her back her money... dropping out instead of HONORING YOUR PARENTS.... is NOT THE ANSWER

Disobeying is like flippin off GOD

5:33 however, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 6:2 "Honor your father and mother" (this is the first commandment with a promise), 6:3 "that it may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth." 6:4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. 6:5 Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as to Christ; 6:6 not in the way of eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 6:7 rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to men, 6:8 knowing that whatever good any one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free. 6:9 Masters, do the same to them, and forbear threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him. 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 6:12 For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 6:13 Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 6:14 Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 6:15 and having shod your feet with the equipment of the gospel of peace; 6:16 besides all these, taking the shield of faith, with which you can quench all the flaming darts of the evil one. 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 6:18 Pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 6:19 and also for me, that utterance may be given me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 6:20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak. 6:21 Now that you also may know how I am and what I am doing, Tych'icus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything. 6:22 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts. 6:23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 6:24 Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with love undying.

Just remember that bone of bone and flesh of flesh means that you two are the same - side by side - and must support one another.  (I'm sure you already knew that.)

Gene Why do I fail so much? Sometimes it just sucks.

Failure is a part of life.  Nobody gets it all right.
There is a difference between being submissive in the cooperation and assistance sense and being submissive in the doormat sense.  Too often the latter is used as a way to push down people.  Paul said that the husband must love as Christ loved.  That means sacrifice up to and including the ultimate sacrifice.  Both sides fail on both counts - we aren't perfect (Paul and I differ on whether or not he was the chief offended here - lol)

Remember to that the Old Testament was God revealing His Law and the New Testament is God revealing His Grace.  We are children of that Grace.  We live,.We fail. We are still loved.  Love ya, Becks!

But when is it my turn to be loved. In heaven I suppose. I am just trash and that is what I deserve to be put out to the curb like trash. When will I be smart enough to learn that lesson.

I guess I will have to wait until Heaven.

You're not trash.  Nobody is.
Don't even think that way.
You're a child of the King!

Hi Becky
You sound frustrated. Sometimes when we imagine that things should happen in a certain way and they don't it appears that we have failed. What we perceive is right is often not true. It's neat that you mention the proverbs 31 woman. I sometimes just read that over my wife like a declaration and a way to honor her. She is always blessed by this. Sometimes when things get a bit crazy it's good to just talk out loud with God and declare your love & worship for Him even when your own circumstances don't warrant it. It's sort of the I will worship You regardless of my situation or for those close to you , I will love you despite not feeling loved or honored in return. I am quite sure we all feel like your feeling at some time or other but we would rather share the victories than our loses. Your not alone. :-)

I wish I didn't feel so alone. He travels much. I don't know if he even prays for me anymore. I gave my marriage to God a few months ago. I don't know if it is my will anymore. Maybe God has something different in store for me. I wish he could realize I wasn't taught respect, and I am learning. Just like he is learning to love me like Jesus did the church.

Becky, no relationship is easy.  Plenty of frustrations and ups and downs.  I don't know anything about your situation, but you mentioned "abuse" and it caught my attention.  I know you may have been using that word just to vent, but many women (and men) are truly living in abusive relationships.  For any readers who think they are being abused, this is NOT God's will.  God desires that we and our children are safe.  None of us is perfect, but none of us deserves to be mistreated.  I posted a blog about the signs of abuse:  http://www.mychurch.org/blog/113439/Recognize-the-Signs-of-Abuse
Just in case this helps anyone, thank you, Becky, for letting me use your blog as a soapbox!

I just don't know how much more of teenagers being teenagers and drama queens before I crack and then to get yelled at is just the topping on the cake. They are not all my kids. Even though I love them like they were.
