Re: Should I avoid crying when my husband disciplines me?
Sister Mary Maria, I applaud the concern you show for your husband's feelings!
Why, I could never imagine the stresses a true man of the God must feel while keeping his family on the straight and narrow. How hard it must be for him to know when and how to righteously discipline his family! Especially us wayword women. With all these "protective" laws (more like destructive, can I get a witness?) and people in the media, like Rosie McDonalds, telling women to "take a stand" . . . why I just dont know how the world isnt being baptized by fire right this second!
I am by no means an authority on this subject, so please discount my humble opinion if someone has a better idea.
I think obedience is best shown through lip quivers. Try not to bite your lip to stop the tears; this only causes tension in the brows which makes one look defiant. As women, we want to show submission.
Also try not to apologize profusely while he's hitting you. I personally think this kind of behavior is cowardly. It's like you are saying, "Ow! I'm sorry! Ow! I'm sorry. Once you stop hitting me though I wont be sorry and I totally havent learned my lesson!! HAHA!!" How condescending of a woman to act like that! And what lesson will you have learned?! Take the beating like a true woman soldier of God!
And remember:
Apologize only when asked.
LIke SUV says, SILENT tears say sooo much. Weep crocodile tears if you must but try not to wail and scream in terror - thats what God made whimpers for.
Lastly, lip quivers say so much! They show true sorrow.
Praise your dilligence in submitting to your husband!
And praise to the strong husbands in the world! Keeping our feeble female minds in check!
Ephesians 5:23-25
23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.
24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
