There is so much here to respond to but I will focus on one thing, touched on by molly. Of the many problems with the “kingship” paradigm, the one that bothers me most is the lack of accountability for the “king”. Sure, the wife has a “leader” who can guide her through life and help her make the right decisions. But who guides the husband? Comps will claim that Jesus is the man’s guide, which is a convenient way to ignore the very un-Christlike behavior the man engages in while supposedly modeling Christ. The result is some of the most abhorrent abuse imaginable as the husband is viewed by all as doing no wrong while the poor wife is maligned by all for the slightest objection to the abuse. Now that truly is “sick”.
