Hi dejablue,

What if the family comes across an issue that the wife knows a specific solution for? Is it an error to just take her lead in the situation?

According to Grudem, first of all if the husband went with the wife’s solution it wouldn’t be considered “her lead” and secondly as long as the husband is the one making the final descion on what to do, no matter if it’s the wife’s solution or the husbands, it wouldn’t be an error because well, it’s the husband who is making the finale decision on what to do lol. Though to “just take her lead” would be an error on the husband’s part in Grudem’s book.

It feels like a waste of time for the wife to know the answer but then have to “give” the answer to her husband so that he has the “privilege” of making the decision to act on it.

lol But in this way the husband’s headship is upheld and he is honored in making the decision to act. lol
