True, no one can “make” someone more Christ-like. Mark’s words were “help lead her (wife) to becoming more like Christ.” I am very uncomfortable with a doctrine that teaches husbands must “make” their wives more Christ-like. I am also uncomfortable with the idea that husbands must “help lead their wives to be more like Christ” if it is in a manner that is supposed to be uniquely and exclusively the domain of males, even it it is done with love. Both husband and wife can and should model meekness, sacrifice, gentleness, kindness, forebearance, love, joy, discipline, self-control, etc. and thereby influence (lead) their spouse to good works.
I am curious as to how Mark or a heirarchicalist would describe how a husband as “head over his wife” properly and practically “lov[es][his] wife in such a way as to help lead her to becoming more like Christ” and to explain how this looks uniquely and exclusive masculine. It must be more than modeling Christ-likeness, and if so, what does it look like?
