The word "obey" is used 69 times in scripture. Forty-one (41) of those times it comes from the Hebrew word "shama" meaning: to hear intelligently/with attention. Thirteen (13) of those times it comes from the Greek word "hupakouo" which means: to hear under (subordinate) i.e. to listen attentively.

Now in reference to marriage, the word "obey" is not used---the word "obedience" is used and it comes from the Greek word "hupotasso" which translate: to obey, to be under obedience, submit self unto. Scriptures where it is used and we sistahs are instructed to be in "obedience" are found in: 1 Peter 3:1 / 3:5 and
Titus 2:5.

I wanted to wait for more postings too, but I will say this, yes, I had, heck, I still do have trouble with "obey/obedience" and yes, it is something I'm working out and working on DAILY with my stubborn self, but I will admit this to my GreekChat family, in my studying GOD'S Word, I've noticed that whenever GOD used the word obey/obedience and the people followed through, it always had AWESOME results and blessings....HMMMM.

SWEETAKA, I ditto you and Tickledpink, you can get a AMEN from me. Shalom~
