Should a Wife Seek Biblical Counsel from Others?

Should a Wife Seek Biblical Counsel from Someone Other than Her Husband?

Does a wife go only to her husband to get biblical guidance?  Does she turn to mentors? This is what one woman is dealing with in her marriage.

Dear Jolene

Is it ok to ask other people/seek counsel regarding questions on scripture from someone other than your husband?

My husband says wives are to go to their husband for teaching on scripture (I cannot remember the verse he uses off the top of my head). But there are a few things he sees in scripture that I don’t agree with or am not sure about.  I would like to ask my pastor and a female mentor what they see in scripture regarding those topics. How can I only go to my husband if we don’t see “eye to eye” and would like further counsel on the topics?

Scripture reference:

Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.  1 Corinthians 14:34,35
