Q19: 1 Corinthians 11:10 and Ephesians 5:23 — no biblical grounds for a husband disciplining his wife

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 16) 01:08:05 – 01:09:37

Response to question about whether husbands have authority to discipline wives based on headship texts

Mike notes 1 Cor 11:10 is not about husband-wife relations (it's about head coverings and angels) and defers the full women's roles question to his planned 2021 study. On the marriage question: Mike flatly rejects the idea of husbands disciplining wives. Ephesians 5:22-25 instructs wives to submit voluntarily — husbands are never told to make wives submit. Husbands are told to love as Christ loved the church (dying for her), not to discipline. Making wives comply would be abuse.
