Two extremes occur in marriage when the Law of Responsibility is not obeyed. On the one hand, a husband will neglect his responsibility to love his wife. He may become selfish, inconsiderate, or hurtful. He will not consider how his actions affect and influence his mate. He is not following Jesus’ law of how to treat one another: “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you” (Matthew 7:12). This is being irresponsible to a spouse.
