Hey Charis,
Yes, if a wife sins against her husband, this sin should be brought to her attention and vice versa. However this is not what CBMW and Mr. Lepine means. The sin that they are talking about is her sin. Any sin. Her sin, her faults and her failures are to be brought to her attention. This is the responsibility of the Holy Spirit in our lives and when we usurp the Holy Spirit’s position of shedding light on our failures and our sin then we can expect conflict since the man (or the woman) is a sinner themselves. Jesus said that we are to take the log out of our own eye before we attempt to take the speck out of our brother’s (wife’s) eye.

When our brother sins against us, this is a sin that needs to be dealt with, but our own personal sins are something that needs to be dealt with by the Holy Spirit. God certainly has not given the husband to be the priest who exposes sin in our life.
