The bowling ball in a blanket is a very apt description of the male trump card in decision making. As well Cheryl’s point that the only time the trump card comes up is when there is disagreement. If mutual submission were in action, then compromise, prayer until agreement would be happening. Without that then the trump card is just another way for the husband to always get his way in disagreement. Interestingly also, I have never seen a valid Scriptural defense for the ‘male being final decision maker’ in marriage.
