Your scripture references although from the same book are about two different subjects.
you said:
Quote:
the Apostle Paul Speaks about,
that we die to the Law, that we are not bounded no more to that Law,
1.This idea is about the fact that we have been saved by grace...and are not subject to the old laws to be justified before God. This means that we can't earn salvation but that the laws are still meant to be used as guidelines. Butterfly...this is very complex theology and difficult for theology majors with lots of Capital letters behind their names to understand. I'm just not able to do it justice, but I don't see this part of the scripture as applicable to your situation with your husband. jmho

2.The verses; Romans:7-1:3 are again discussing one aspect of divorce-meaning that God will release a spouse from the commitment under that circumstance. Some people believe that this verse implies that this is the -only- circumstance allowing one to divorce.



In response to what is going on in your home:
I do not believe that God ever intended the institution of marraige to include any kind of abuse that one partner is forced to endure in order to please God. It is never okay for a spouse to be abusive. Never.

The previous three posts offer you exactly the same response that I would give.
Your husband will do as he chooses, but you have choices too. I would hope that you will consider what others have said here and try a different approach. When I continue to act and react in the same ways, nothing changes-thankfully it's never too late to learn, get help and find a better way to live.

I am going to recommend that you try Al-Anon because that is the best place I know to learn how to place some limits on what I accept from other people. We have a saying in Al-Anon: "It's recommended to attend at least six meetings and if after that, you don't want to come back, we will gladly refund your misery."
