I would say it depends on whether the wife works, how many children they have and their age, her health condition and many other things. I find it weird that it is a subject of so many heated discussions though.
What do you think?

For those of my readers who are Christians: do you celebrate Halloween? Why or why not?
Western family structure then:
Lower class - monogamy.
Middle class - monogamy.
Upper class - polygamy.
Western family structure now:
Upper class - polygamy.
Middle class - monogamy.
Lower class - polyandry;)
Far Left types have a huge problem with hierarchy and accepting any form of auhtority and tend to be anarchistic.
Far Right individuals often go to the other extreme, they tend to worship the existing power structures and some are positive bootlickers.
Both appear to be wrong to me. Far anything is seldom good;)
Here are some interesting facts. White people usually love sunbathing, but also have the highest rates of skin cancer. On the other hand, Asian women often avoid sun to such a degree, that sometimes it leads to bone fractures.
Yet, according to Harvard Health, sun protection normally doesn't lead to weaker bones. Avoiding sun also makes you look younger.
Any ideas?
Somehow this reminds me the BBC show The Real Housewives Of ISIS:
"There are only 3 days left till the beheading and I still have nothing to wear!"
Change my mind;)
I have noticed it being promoted quite a bit lately, by such respectable Evangelical organisations as Gospel Coalition (I won't link to their article because I find it emotionally manipulative, sorry). Only (some) Catholics appear to be against it. The procedure itself is not without its risks, but that aside, isn't it introducing a third party (parties) into the marital bed, akin to egg/sp88m donation, which many conservative Christians are against? Because your wife getting pregnant from embryo donation means your wife is getting pregnant with another man's child.
At best, one could argue that it falls under Christian freedom, and it's up to the couple to decide. Promoting it as an ultimately good, pro-life cause and even a positive duty is going too far, imo. Those who have duty towards the embryos are the parents who allowed them to be created, not you. I wonder if someone is making a lot of money from selling these embryos to hopeless couples, but it's just the old cynical me. Anyway, before someone comes out and attacks me. I'm not telling anyone how to live their life on this blog. I'm just discussing things and providing (scientific) info. The choice is always yours.
So what are your honest thoughts about the question?
Which is the biggest problem Christian churches face nowadays? Some will say abortion, others fornication or divorce, yet others will talk about wives not submitting to their husbands or even the lack of s8x in marriage, or some political cause.
I read a post recently where the blog owner said that modern Christians are all talk and no action. When they encounter a problem, they'll say that they are going to pray about it. While praying is always good, he said, Christians often forget that praying should be accompanied by acting. Otherwise it's like being the guy who kept praying about winning the lottery while he never ever bought a ticket.
I have thought it over and in my opinion, he is onto something. Just a small example. Pro-life movement in the USA achieved important victories in many places precisely because they took action. They went out into the streets. Same with homeschooling. This is an example to Christians in other countries. If you want to achieve something, fight for it (politically, obviously). If you are really passionate about a cause, then take action.
Even small actions like boycotting certain entertainment help. People should have the courage to live according to their convictions. Churches should have the courage to preach sound doctrine. So may be that's what the modern churches and Christians really lack? Courage...
