“Pack Your Bags”

If my husband finds a job in Wyoming, and my life and family is in the state we live now, should I go with him?

Sincerely,
Change Of Address?

Dear Change Of Address,

A husband and wife are a family unit that has to be prioritized above all other family relations.  God commanded that when a man and woman married, they were to leave their families and become one flesh (Gen 2:24).  You and your husband must decide together where your life goes, and as a christian wife, you have a responsibility to follow your husband (Eph 5:22).  Hopefully, he will have a loving attitude to consider your wishes before relocating (Eph 5:25), but regardless of whether he does his part… you must fulfill your obligation before the Lord.  When you made your marriage vow, you and your husband decided to pursue a life together – wherever that life might take you.
