“I understand, historically, the rationale as to why women were under authority. However, how would a hierarchialist answer today about that which necessitates a woman be under authority.”

They always answer because the Bible says so. They never discuss why Jesu Christ would put an authority layer between a wife and Jesus Christ. (Not speaking of civil authorities which both husband AND wife are subject to) Just speaking of believers who are married.

But this is a problem. What if the husband becomes incapacitated and must have his diapers changed? And the wife must make the living because he cannot. And must make decisions about everything from money to where they live. Who is in authority then?

This happens. What then? (Let’s just hope she is prepared and not a ditz because she was never allowed to make a decision or be part of making decisions for the family)
