Tiro,
This is well said! I am trying to think if there is any example in scripture where a man or woman was called by God where the other spouse did not support them. The only example I can think of that might even be a little bit related to this is where David danced before the Lord when he brought the ark back and Michal was not happy with David’s exuberant worship. 2 Samuel 6:14-23. It says that Michal was childless until she died, but it is unclear to me whether this came as a result of David’s rejection of her or the Lord’s.

To me, though, the highest form of service to God is when the two who are one flesh and work and move in union. I believe that this is God’s highest way too. But will God be thwarted when one holds back? David kept on serving God whether his wife liked it or not. Hmmmm….what do you think?
