SOCIAL GAP (enemy of intimacy)

We went out on a personal evangelism where we meet a young mother of two . She had been sent parking by the husband who had married another woman. Though unbelievers, the lady said the husband complained that she was too "small" to him socially. There was this other situation in which a woman was rejected by her husband because she is too short compared to his stature. This was after two girls had been born into the family.

When you see a man who often goes on outing without his wife, it could actually portend some dangers. Many women are self effacing. They do not want to be seen or noticed in public gatherings. If such has a husband who is an outgoing, she needs to work on herself to live up to his expectation. A man should feel proud to introduce his wife to his friends. It is not good enough to feel ashamed at introducing one's wife.

This often aggravated by educational gap. When a man or a woman tower too high above his or her spouse, it leads to inferiority complex which makes one to always feel that he or she is being cheated because of that status or having a tendency to misbehave, oppress, restrict or behave nasty as a way of self defence against social threat. This common with couples who married earlier than maturity. So, as they try to struggle for better positioning for life, one leaves the other behind. In questions of years, they tend to be socially incompatible; but it's too late.
Son 1:7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, for why thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?

Some husbands may refuse assisting in some home chores, alleging oppression. He may even order to stop the wife from attending important functions, programmes, examinations or even seminars. Some allege unfaithfulness or other forms of suspicions as a way of stalling the progress or puncturing the ego of the wife. Little matters like church responsibilities, delayed return become serious issues.

Son 5:2 I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love,my dove my undefiled: for my head is feel with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.

Son 5:5 I rose up to open to my beloved;and my hands droped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
