Where your exegesis becomes troublesome is when you appeal that the ‘they’ is husband and wife, since then it inevitably means that the future salvation of the wife is not only dependant on certain things but also on several people. Her salvation is conditional on not only her, but also on him remaining in faith etc.

Hi Mark, good to see you visiting here.
Why is it a problem for you that this woman’s salvation is conditional on one person (her husband – rather than several people) and his remaining in faith etc? You don’t think that either a husband or a wife can have any serious effect on the salvation of their partner? I don’t understand why you have a problem with her husband having to remain in faith etc for her salvation since she is deceived. What does what he has to do in order for her to be saved mean to you? The woman’s husband has to do a, b and c, so what does that mean to you, what is the problem? Why is it a problem for you that her husband has a part in her “future salvation”? Can a wife or husband have a part in their spouses “future salvation”? I hope you are able to find time to answer my questions so that I can understand where you are coming from.
