Trust and Obey

When did obedience become a dirty word in our culture? I can pinpoint an example of a true paradigm shift in our nation, that I believe began in the 1960’s with the advent of the Women’s Liberation Movement. Before that influence in our culture, a common part of a wedding ceremony included the bride vowing to “love, honor and obey” her new husband. By the time I got married in 1977, that phrase was stricken from my wedding vows, as it was for all my peers. So, how do women learn to trust God enough to obey Him by fulfilling their roles as godly wives?
