That is a tough command and a scary thought, to give up your right to yourself. Number two: take up the cross, which means suffering. Number three, follow a daily obedience. Give up your right to yourself, take up the cross and follow. Do you want to be a disciple? Those are the conditions. So I still do this even though my husband won't let me go out of the house w/out permission, won't let me go ANYWHERE by myself without him (driving or walking), won't let me take the kids ANYWHERE to do ANYTHING (no exaggerating), kids are home accounted for 24/7, they have zero friends, won't let me have even one friend, won't let me see my mom and family, points out my faults most of the time, raises voice most of the time, gives me A LOT of rules to do everyday, always correcting me about things I do or don't do. BUT the Lord has told me many times I am NOT to leave him even though I feel like it because this has gone on for SEVERAL YEARS and the Lord tells me I am to ENDURE it.

Before, my husband and I were going to church, but I wasn't going all the time. Then he ended up getting a night job and we just stop going completely. I thought our marriage was going great until we started having problems. I recently got saved. I notice since I did, the devil has been attacking our marriage, but I know JESUS will help me. Just like Elisabeth Elliot said “Are we worth all the work our husbands put into living with and serving us, providing for our children, paying all the bills? I want to be worth it all. I feel like a gift." I have been taking him for granted but I know JESUS is going to help us through this.... (USA) I’m married and have been for about 2 years.
