Exodus 35:1
And Moses gathered all the congregation… Moses gathered men, women, and children together to hear the Torah. We all suffer as a result of each other’s wickedness, but every individual is responsible for his own obedience to God. A man cannot be held responsible for his wife’s sins, nor can a woman be held responsible for her husband’s. He is responsible for how he loves and leads his wife, and she is responsible for how she respects and obeys her husband.
