Nice discussion Family ... thanks everyone for sharing ...
If my intended presented me with this scripture, talk'n 'bout ...
forsaking all others ... i'd want to have a quick review with them on all the scriptures pertaining to a husband and wife duties ... just to be sure we doin' erry thang, since we goin' this way ...
Like the scripture ... wives obey your husbands ... or something like that.
What if the husband is beat'n the ish out of you ... what then ... what if he don't even love the Lord, aint been in church or sunday school in 19 years, got 14 baby mommas since the wedding ... and he is pointing to this scripture to try and tie you down ... wives obey your husbands.
Likewise ... this scripture ... forsaking all others ... is probably talking about some kinda good man!
If he's THAT MAN ... it will not be difficult to let go of whatever you must let go of.
If you find that it's difficult to let go of something for him, he may not be THAT MAN.
Or ... you may be willing to push past the reluctance and give him what he wants.
Likewise, there are probably things that you want him to "forsake" and he may or may not.
These are probably questions you talk about prior to the wedding, so no one is disappointed later.
Each person / couple will have different things that might be put on the "forsaken table".
One man might like his wife stripping and never wants her to quit - while another does not.
Know before marriage what the other wants forsaken, if applicable, for you may be perfect as is!
Love You!
