Question

Brother Branham, the Bible tells us that a—a wife should obey her husband. I am a Christian and my husband is a sinner. He persecutes me in every way that he can, and for me not to go to church, and read my Bible, and—and denies the Word. What should I do?

Answer

What should you do? Now, listen, you’re supposed to obey your husband; that’s the Word. Now, if he tells you and refuses you to read the Bible, go to church, or something like that, you don’t have to obey that, because, “He that will—won’t forsake his father, mother, husband, wife, or whatever it is...

Question

Brother Branham, how am I supposed to show my wife that I really care for her and yet play…or stay with the Word (That’s)—stay—stay with the Word, but still having a question like this said: “Why don’t you practice what you preach or believe?”

Answer

Well then, if the wife, if the wife is saying this to you when she’s…has a right to say it, you better get right. See, see?

But if a Christian woman has a sinner husband who does not even to one of your services…come to one of your services and won’t…and wants his wife to be doing things, cutting her hair, wearing shorts, and going to ungodly places, is this woman supposed to be subject to this man in this way? Please explain this more clearly, as this is a question that is asked often.

Answer

No, Sister, you are not subject to such a person. No indeedy. For this cause you’ll leave everything and cleave to God. Now, the thing…If you want…that man wants to live with you, and you be…stay a Christian…But if he’s going to make you wear shorts, cut your hair, and do all these other things, and...

Question

Brother Branham, I have accepted God’s Message of today, and also our son. And we both have been baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. My husband—my husband hasn’t accepted the Message and is fighting this Message. And he has influenced our son and is taking him to a Methodist church. He wants me to go with him to church when we are not in service here at the tabernacle. Would it be right for me to go with him or would it be better to stay out of that denomination?

Answer

Well now, dear sister…She never signed no name, but perhaps you’re listening to your question; if you don’t, you’ll hear it on tape. Go with your husband, but don’t be partakers of—of what they’re doing. See, you’re supposed to love your husband, and love is what does it. You just be real salty; he’...
