Tiffany,

I think I understand that you indeed are not saying a husband should “take authority” because there the verb is “take” and the object is the noun, “authority”. I think I understand that for you the word authority is a verb; authority is something a husband does i.e. nourishing, cherishing, self-sacrificing, so he would not “take authority” he would simply “authority (nourish, cherish, self-sacrifice for) his wife”.

Am I understanding correctly?
