Response to the Comments

Just so you know, this is speculation on my part.  I am speculating that there is difficulty and speculating that there may be neglect.  I am not, however, speculating on the amount of time spent, or the statements made by the man.  I'm putting myself in the wife's position when it comes to emotions.  I have never met the wife.

I, actually, like the idea of spending time together in Bible study.  While I would desperately want to have time alone with my husband, maybe if we studied together and discussed it would provide that time alone that I would want, and bring an enhancement to that time.  I have felt like if it were me, I'd feel all of the emotions that Tommy suggested.  I would be very angry, jealous and neglected, if I weren't included. 

I'm very thankful for the array of opinions presented.  Dad, the verses you spoke of are verses that were in my mind when I was posting the last post.

This man has also said in the past that a woman would never leave a man that was grounded in God and His word.  I agree with this statement, until I started taking it to the extreme to neglect. 

I wish there were a conclusion here, and something definite to be said, but that's my categorizing Type A personality that desires that finality.  Unfortunately, so many things don't Biblically fit into that stringent of rules.  Dad, I fully agree with the moderation comment, and there again is another thing that doesn't fit into the black and white categories that I so desire.  Maybe I should be grateful that God isn't an all or nothing God, and he does forgive us when we take the gray area a little further than we should have.  Maybe I should also be grateful for the free will to choose how I interpret things.  Maybe I should stop posting for now because I have a worsening headache, and I'm finding it difficult to focus.
