Foaming, Grinding, Or Stiff As A Board? Mr. Johnson would get the award of “most ranting husband” effortlessly, and uncontested. His wife would get a prize too. “Most withdrawn wife” The anomaly in their marriage is too pronounced. Mr. Johnson thinks he is an expert in communication because he talks! Sadly, communication is not “just talking!” Mrs. Johnson believes she is the most submissive wife because she hardly talks, but sadly too, her withdrawal into her shell is a form of rebellion, not loud but stubborn! Their marriage is at crossroads, things are falling apart and the center refused to hold. The event we started looking at yesterday illustrates the situation in many marriages and relationships! Mar 9:17-18 (MSG) A man out of the crowd answered, "Teacher, I brought my mute son, MADE SPEECHLESS by a demon, to you. Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He FOAMS AT the mouth, GRINDS HIS TEETH, and goes STIFF AS A BOARD. I told your disciples, hoping they could deliver him, but they couldn’t."There are relationships that are speechless, but sexual! There are marriages that are speechless, and survive on sign languages of irritation, frowns, and so on. There are marriages rather than bringing forth speech, what is coming out are foams.
