I think you totally missed my point. I am not opposed to her talking to her husband and letting him know that she wants him to be the spiritual leader of the home .... etc etc etc. There is nothing like the peace and joy when your husband IS leading the home as the spiritual leader.
However, if you read my entire post, there is a way that it can be handled without tearing him down and making him feel like he has been a failure in that department. Maybe I misunderstood your comment. It came across to me as: TELL him - to me it came across in a accusing manner. I'm sorry if I misunderstood you.
However, the way it came across to me reminded me of a saint in old-time Pentecost about the time TVs first came out. She attended church faithfully, her husband did not. He bought a TV and then shortly after that at a General Conference the stand was taken against TV. After it was preached in the home church, the saint went to the pastor (a female pastor...
) and told her that the husband had purchased one and brought it into the home. That dear old pastor said: "Well, Sister _ _ _ _ , you just need to put your foot down and tell him to sell it and get rid of that ungodly thing." The wise old saint looked the pastor straight in the eye and said.... "Well, I can put my foot down, but I'll be picking it right back up."
True story!
So - yes, I agree that she needs to talk to him about these things, but I think it should be done after much prayer and asking the Lord to go before her and prepare his heart to receive it. And asking the Lord to give her the right words to say.
JMHO - Blessings to you!
