Excellent gengwall. I especially like the “iron sharpens iron”. This is where we get to share our gifts with each other. If only one is the spiritual leader, the sole messenger from God, then there is no such thing as a husband and wife living out the “iron sharpens iron” exchange of thoughts and gifts. That would be sad.

Also think how bad a husband can feel when his wife is better at the Scriptures than he is. With the thought that he must be more knowledgeable and a better handler of the Bible than she is as the comps teach that only the husband is the Spiritual leader over his wife, I would think that it would be a blow to the husband to have her excel at all above him. And I would also think that it would cause a wife to want to tone down her knowledge in the Scriptures in order to make her husband look more spiritual. This isn’t the message of the Bible where we are individually called to a relationship with God and individually to excel in our Bible knowledge and our ability to “rightly divide the Word of truth”.
