An Unloved WomanThe unloved woman that married xxx
Thé reason the earth trembles when an unloved woman marries isn’t because she shouldn’t marry or will « destroy families » as you have written and I I felt it in my spirit to correct you. The earth trembles as it did with Hannah when she was called a drunk and was persecuted by the woman her husband married to gain children… She was powerful because they compromised and lacked faith, he determined her baron and called « damaged goods » but God never called any woman this, Sarah was in the same position and yet not persecuted. Hannah did not require a child to love her husband but he required from her what God did not and so she consecrated her child to Hod and not her husband. He gave her double portions to relieve his guilt not because she was honoured by him, he thought that since he wanted a thing to make him happy (an heir) she would settle for « stuff » but Hannah was worth more and that’s why her son 2 books in the Bible… but the earthquake was, when a woman has no covering just like the sheep without a shepherd God himself steps in and when God steps in- the earth quakes and the insight comes from the simple fact that you are acquainted to your husband before the marriage – so if you are unloved then then are married love is not present in the marriage otherwise you wouldn’t be unloved because the person looking to marry you would love you in order to marry you so when a man exploits a woman’s position and her lack of love out of convenience to himself because she would benefit him.. That is when the earth quales because a marriage is a convenant with God at the centre and he does not lack a false testimony to live cherish and honor in sickness and in health… knowing that woman is unloved. that man is mocking God with his covenant… So … The earth quakes 🕊🔥 blessings
Carrie-Ann,
Thank you for caring enough to write. I can tell that you feel passionate about what you wrote and that you care about women. You also communicate a respect for marriage and the importance of honoring God with marriage.
By the nature of a concise blog post, the content is not inclusive of all angles of a situation. Perhaps I am opening myself to misinterpretation by focusing exclusively on only the woman’s experience of the situation. By the narrow focus, I in no way want to imply that the offending party is excusable.
There could be some misunderstanding. For example, I did not write that anyone called Hannah “damaged goods.”
I can’t say that I agree with your assessment of Hannah’s husband or the passages you cite, especially as I don’t believe we should interpret the passage through a 21st century, Western lens. For example, arranged marriages were common, in which love came later.
Many, many women have received neglect or abuse as girls and/or as adults (absolutely abhorrent!). Of course, such maltreatment hurts emotionally. As I’m sure you are aware, a sense of hurt often produces a response of anger and resentment. Resentment can habituate into bitterness. A bitter person is usually not a person others want to be around. Then the person feels more hurt, and the cycle perpetuates.
The point is, when women perceive themselves to be unloved, they often react in ways that do not promote peaceful relationships. The proverb warns others to be aware of this and act wisely in response. The blog post goes on to show the hope such women can have in Christ.
I feel great compassion for women who have been mistreated. I’ve met many and cried with some. I can’t remember one who has not had to deal with the natural reactions to fear and anger. Some have continued in their anger, and their relationships have continued in turmoil. Others have turned to Christ and, in obedience to Scripture, have developed gentle and quiet spirits, even with very difficult husbands, children, or other family. Those women depend upon God for His love even when others don’t love them. Their faith grows. They become increasingly kind, gentle, and wise, even in the face of unkind treatment. They are really beautiful in character!
My hope for mistreated women is that they realize they don’t have to take on the victim mentality of perpetual hurt feelings and resentment and the unloving words and actions they, themselves, then do toward others. They can turn to Christ and be satisfied with His great, unchanging love for them. In Christ, following the guidance of the Word of God by the power of the Holy Spirit, they can practice loving others with “a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God” (1 Peter 3:4). And then they will have great joy.
Again, thank you for taking the time to write and share your thoughts.
As I finish my response, I am praying that you will be resting in God’s love for you and growing in the joy of knowing Christ.
Linda
