I'm shocked to find that you don't consult your church elders before making a decision. I thought everyone did. Why just last week, my supervisor requested I change a UI I was working on to utilize a checkbox for a value instead of users having to type in true/false.
Of course after consulting with my local elders, we found passage Bill XP, where he states "it is up to each person to look within their soul to determine weather he doth maketh a truthful or false decision". I showed my supervisor, that we could find no passages mentioning checkboxs, and it made me very uncomfortable what forces might come to bear on me should I make such a decsion.

>>If she still insisted that she work and I still insisted that she not work, I would most likely seek the counsel of an Elder (and probably his wife) at our church. We would work out a plan to address the issue. If it is a case where my wife is just being obstinant, we would address that using the principles in Matthew 18. If the Elder thought I was the one who was at fault, I would ask my wife's forgiveness and we would pursue finding her a job.
