For those of you who believe in membership for the local church, I am
curious how you would counsel on the following subject.  A wife wants to
become a member of the local church she attends, but her husband(who is also
a professing believer) doesn't want to become a member, nor does he really
want her to become come.  She wants to know if she should become a member
even though her husband doesn't want to, neither does he want her too?

Is she not in submission if she chooses to become a member without his
consent, or is she permitted to become a member because the Scriptural
teaching on membership and obedience to it?

Thanks for your input,
Johnny
