Three areas of women's authority: (3) over husband's body — 1 Corinthians 7:3-5

Everything Women Can and Can't Do According to the Bible: Women in Ministry part 13 01:16:26 – 01:18:29

Mike presents conjugal rights as a domain of shared authority.

1 Corinthians 7:3-5: 'The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.' They can only abstain 'by agreement.' This is a specific area where the husband is told he cannot make unilateral decisions — he must get his wife's agreement. This shows headship in marriage is not unilateral decision-making but a balance with yielding.
