Though it may seem like dishonoring her parents to go get help, it is actually the opposite. And honoring God is always front and center, ahead of all human authorities. (That's why I mentioned Abigail and Nabal.) Sometimes a wife or daughter must get help from the church or from the civil authorities. Natalie,

I would say that I'm very loyal to my husband but that I need to work on making my loyalty to God more immediate and less academic. I do have a question though. What does it look like when a father abdicates his authority, and what should a God-fearing daughter do in that situation? I'm specifically thinking about an emotionally abusive family that doesn't recognize the authority of the pastor/elders to speak to the way they raise their children or even to look after said children in an appropriate, pastoral way. How is honor satisfied when the apron strings feel like winding sheets? Encouraging and convicting thoughts indeed.
