What If David Never Slept With Bathsheba, Would Uriah Come Home?

Decent Essays
What if David never slept with Bathsheba, would Uriah come home? If Uriah went home would he show his wife attention? If Bathsheba turned down David’s request would it show how strong their marriage was? If she turned down David's attempts would it mean Uriah was fulfilling her needs? Let’s imagine there is no drama, no issue and let’s raise the question would Uriah still go home? What do you think the answer would be? My answer would be no, he showed no interest of going home at all. This is why I wrote the book, because too many of us men make excuses. You may even be making excuses while reading this. You may think Uriah would not go home because he knew something was wrong. God never designed marriage to experience this type of response,

The men and women in this book are represented in the same stereotypical fashion, where women serve at the pleasure of a man to help him along on his path to greatness.…
