I did not realize that in the 1990s the requirement in wedding vows for wives to state they will obey their husbands was removed. I was married before the removal so I had to abide by the covenant to obey my husband. I am confused. Do I still need to obey my husband?

Heavy on the sarcasm here and I'm thinking it is funny to apply a statement/idea we often hear on another topic:

....do you you want net blessings or gross blessings?

Well, since receiving net blessings would mean I'll have blessings left over after expenses are covered, and receiving gross blessings could leave me in the red after expenses, I think I'll go with "net blessings".

Plus, gross blessings sound so... gross...

but maybe it is really groß?

Only inasmuch as he obeys the Lord, right? So all you have to do is get yourself one of those warm, fuzzy feelings about what you want to do, and you can tell your hubby to shove it! ;)

Did you ever? :D

short answer = 'yes' ~



now go make some sandwiches ~

    
    
                Is this about your allowance?

If it's a kink for you, probably.

do I still have to obey him? Not on your life. We get along a lot better as a non-couple. I refuse to obey a man or anyone except maybe my boss, but none of them are bossy. I never see my bosses now.

My Catholic wife obeying me...hehe...what a concept! More like f*** you!

Not really. The obey word was in there to make the men feel better. In reality they had to obey!

It's a bait and switch. In reality, if the man doesn't toe the line his wife can sic his church leaders on him.

Since the death oaths were removed, is my life still in jeopardy if I reveal the secrets of the temple. It sounded like a pretty serious promise at the time. You think if we were let off the hook with these, they tell us.

And it's not fair that our kids aren't obliged at the same level (threat to our lives) as we were. What's up with that?

I am so ... in limbo? Help.

this is 'undeniably' a change in the posture of ChurchCo;

some fundys will also say this is an ungodly compromise.

was there any blowback published on this or other 'endowment' changes?

You did promise in front of “God, angels, and these witnesses.”

Yes but I believe all the witnesses are now dead and I have never seen God and/or angels with either my actual or spiritual eyes.

Depends on the order.

"In the name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and by the Holy Melchizedek Priesthood which I hold, and in the presence of the unseen hosts of heaven which I call as witnesses, I raise my arm to the square and command you to consume entirely this extra-large slice of cheesecake with strawberry swirls, that it may strengthen and nourish your body."

You mean that this whole time my wife had to obey me?

Yes. And the tooth fairy is demanding a refund now that you no longer believe.

I don't remember all the words at my wedding, and I do know that I didn't sign anything that specifically stated the wedding vows.

So if it isn't in writing and I didn't sign it, then I can't be held responsible.

My word against the word of the witnesses.

A vert good Friend of mine suggests that couples should alternate ‘who is in charge’ for short-term items e-verk weekend, I think thats a Great plan.
