Never once does Christ, in the husband/wife relationship with his church, ever take authority. He does only three things ever, serve, sacrifice, and intercede. Those are the characteristics of the “head” as Paul speaks of it.

This is one of the best descriptions of husbandly “head” that I have ever seen!

There can be no masters if all act as servants.

Exactly. The question then should be whether Jesus told any of his followers to act as masters toward others. I don’t see it. Men are not to be masters, they are to be servants. Women are not to be masters, they are to be servants. If we all took this to heart, likely we would never hear of the “husband as boss” argument again.

The next question should be whether acting as a servant to your wife is considered a sin. It appears to be a “sin” to many popular comp teachers who teach that the man must take authority over his wife or risk being less of a man.

Thoughts?
