The Cross & the Jukebox: Tammy Wynette’s “Stand By Your Man”
In today’s episode of The Cross & the Jukebox, we talk about Tammy Wynette’s “Stand By Your Man.” Though some might use this as a shorthand for fidelity in marriage, I think that the song is not about covenant faithfulness but rather a fatalistic view of human nature, especially in how it pictures how men and women relate to one another. However, as Christians we should expect more of men and women in marriage and in how they treat one another. This is not a protest against divorce culture, but rather a hyper submission and fatalistic view of marriage. But the view of the Bible is so much higher and requires trust for the one-flesh union.
