The Bible does command us to show the other cheek if we are hit on one.. At the same time, Bible also explains responsibilities of father, husband, wife.. I firmly believe a father and husband should provide protection for his child or wife. It is a responsibility. Man should keep his family away from any danger. So to your question, yes, it is not wrong to stand up.Under the New Testiment, is it wrong to stand up for a loved one. That is, if they are under a threat.
Example: A man hits your wife, from that point (biblically) what should you do? (Under New Convenient)
When the bible talks about turning the other cheek it means toward persecution religiously. If someone is out there to harm you because they want to or for a crime then yes it is your responsibility to protect that person. If someone attacks you because you are a Christian then yes turn the other cheek and take the persecution. There is a big difference between persecution and just down right assault.Under the New Testiment, is it wrong to stand up for a loved one. That is, if they are under a threat.

In the understanding of Man, we will not understand that of God. His ways are not of our own.
If someone were to hit my Girlfriend in front of me, I would honestly deck him out of complete respect for my girlfriend. Yet...that is what I would do, and I am a sinful man, just like the rest...what I am asking is that ok. Or should I humble myself and let him take care of the situation as need be.
