I wanted to please everyone, but it didn’t seem possible. On one hand I wanted to make Derick happy and totally agreed with him about not wanting to hand over control of the pregnancy and birth to the network. However, according to IBLP teaching, Derick was also under my parents’ authority and was supposed to obey them too.
Its insane that IBLP teaches that the spouse who marries into the family is also under parental control. These are adults who are married and starting their own family.
