The Jesus is not equal to the Father arguments, in all the various forms, are what the Arian heretics taught. We see some of their same arguments being used today, which I find troubling.

The Bible actually does say wives are to obey their husbands, the problem is this is in a proclamation from a pagan king in Esther 1, hardly an example for a believer to follow. Est 1:22 He sent letters to all the royal provinces, to every province in its own script and to every people in its own language, that every man be master in his own household and speak according to the language of his people.

So, to be picky, there is no “God-endorsed” statement that a wife is to obey her husband.
