My question is then does the husband have authority TO

1) make final decsions
2) tell his wife what is truth and what is not
3) decide for her if she can or cannot be a teacher, pastor etc
4) tell her to submit
5) tell her that he has authority TO __________
6) overrule her will
7) be judge in the home
8) be “head” of the home

This list which could be anwered by “yes” or “no” could go on and on…

My answer to ALL of them is “NO!”

Except on #1 if they have mutually decided that he is more gifted in a certain area and should make the decisions for them in that area. And the same would go for delegating the wife as the final decision making authority over realms in which she is more gifted (eg the Prov 31 woman does not appear to consult her husband in her trading and real estate ventures).
