Biblically: Is It Proper For The Wife To Call The Husband By His Name by princeemmma(m): 1:10pm On Jan 28, 2022
We all understood why some wife in the bible addresses their husband as "My Lord", example is Sarah (1Peter 3:6.) Why? Because the husband is the second after God to his wife, God made the husband the head over everything and that's the way it should be (Ephessians 1:22). Apostle Paul also instructed the wife to subject to their husband (I Peter 3:1).

We understood the fact that civilization has brought a lot of things, that made the wife feel he should address his husband by his name. But is this fare? Is it the right thing to do biblically? Why don't we follow the bible anymore? Has life changed to extend that it has to cancel the word of God?

Making note of this, i remember a couple who love to address each other by name, the wife call the husband Funsho and the husband addresses his wife as Mide, the unfortunate thing that happen is that when their child started growing up, he started calling the father by his name "Funsho" and was addressing his mother as "My Mummy". He was addressing the father as Funsho at home, they found no fault and they did not rebuke the boy, not until the boy called the father Funsho inside the Church, when everything was quiet. Now whose fault is this? Can the boy stop?

Now to my question. What do you call your spouse and why? Is it proper to call your spouse by his/her real name? how do you feel it should be biblically?

As for me, i feel it should be done the way the bible says, and am trying to apply this in my marriage currently, and its working very well.

there is nothing wrong calling each other by name, what matters is the type of environment you are when you call each other by name, is it a church, home family gathereing, etc at church your wouldnt call her by name the same as you would in front of her parents

In your house you can call each other whatever works for, you out in society you tend to blend i with what others are doing (culture and tradition)

For kids, i am an africa raised person but i live in the western world, yes married couple can call each other by names even family familiy friends but kids dont use names to call
their parents, they use mom and daddy

Most africans judge by how western grown ups call
each other by names and think kids do the same to their parents but they dont

My friend is married and i call him by his name and when i asked his child to call him i dont say "call Joe for me " but i would say call your father for me" and him goes to his father and say "UNCLE JOHN" wants you he doesnt say John wants you

If the boy called his father by name and called his mum " my mummy ", whose fault is it since the couple both called each other by their names?

Aren't the couple both expected to correct the child and teach him what they should be known as (mummy and daddy)?

What did Funsho feel like when his little son was calling him Funsho at the beginning? Cool? Otherwise, he would've correct him.

How come the child calls the mother "my mummy" even when daddy calls her "Mide"?

The op doesn't really know what he is saying. Your children will still address you as mummy and daddy.

My daughter will tell you her father's name, is "uncle Booboo". She knows my name too and calls me that when she's trying to be naughty. But outside, strictly "mummy" and "daddy". We didn't teach her that.

If the children are copying what the parents call themselves, that means they will also call the father "my lord" outside. Or is it only first names they copy?

Na lie I talk? None of the jargons spewed has anything to do with God.

The OP here attempts to use God's name to validate the foolishness crawling around in his brain, knowing there are definitely gullible individuals out there who are ready to swallow his lie hook,Iine and sinker by his doing that...this because they are after all Nigerian-type Christians. undecided

But the post na rubbish, true true.

How come the child calls the mother "my mummy" even when daddy calls her "Mide"?

His logic is not locking well. grin OP, if the boy calls his father 'Funsho' because mom calls him Funsho, why is he not calling his mum 'Mide' since daddy calls her Mide?

Nawa. Child dey call him papa name, as a whole head of house and you're coming here to post that, to blame who?

How you people simultaneously elevate and infantilise yourselves is astounding to watch.

Honour (respect) is what the Bible explicitly called for. So if your own way of showing respect to your spouse is by calling him/her "My Lord", "Daddy wa", "Sir", "Ma" "King" "Queen", Etc. kindly go ahead. Tradition and upbringing have the major influence on our perception of respect/honour.

Where in the Bible is this honor called for? undecided

And of what reputation is this "honour" you speak of this since we are told that God Himself cursed marriage from the beginning in Genesis 3 vs 16?. undecided

What you call honor is a curse placed by God on marriage in Genesis 3 vs 16, the very same curse and judgment Jesus Christ came to redeem/save men from - John 3 vs 16 - 21 undecided

The one who commands you to honor under a curse obviously speaks against Jesus Christ who instead come to save you from that need you have to be honored in marriage.... that curse. undecided

The comments here are hilarious. Kobojunkie, abeg be calming down na, why do you want to finish me with laughter cheesy.

This one has refused to evolve cheesy cheesy. OP, you should be very embarrassed with your post. What is more annoying is the fact that you dragged God into this. You want to be addressed as my Lord? Please go study law, climb up the ladder in your career, become a judge then that way you will get plenty ''My Lord" cheesy cheesy. This Nairaland is sometimes treated like a garbage site where anyone can drop anything, no matter how senseless just to have a feel of putting up a post cheesy.
