Yes. I’ve seen this cancer destroy more than one marriage.
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutley.
Crazy how men understand this in human government and church government but have a complete disconnect when it comes to husbands and wives.

BTW (if this hasn’t been mentioned), using military or boss/employee examples of authority completely undermines the argument. Sex between Sr. officers and their subordinates and between bosses and employees is highly frowned upon in authority models.
Sex between husband and wife where the husband holds all the authority is not a marriage. It is a master/slave(or concubine) or owner/property arrangement.
