Thank you, Zec, for challenging me to know the scriptures better.

I believe semantics can through things off track. Here are my favs from all comments:

Ryan wrote, “I believe a husband has been given full authority IN THE NAME OF YESHUA to protect his wife from all…”

Tom wrote, “Christ is the head of the male. And what must we men do? To be led by Him. To be obedient to Him. To no do our will, but His. We are directly answerable to Jesus–especially for the way we treat those women of whom we are the head, as we are commanded in that very passage in Ephesians–”husbands, love your wives”.”

and, “Take a look at the list of requirements for being a male who acts acceptably in the sight of God, in Timothy and Titus. Isn’t it interesting how much longer they are than the “lady lists” in Titus, Ephesians, and elsewhere? In fact its the same in Ephesians–the weight of responsibility for godly living lies heavily upon the one in authority”

Christian Wife/Mom wrote, “I think Christian males and females need to stop worrying about who needs to do what and just love and serve each other. My husband and I have been doing that for 20 years, and we are happily married. We don\’t get bogged down with rules, except to “love one another,” and to love God with all our heart, soul and mind.”

Where the rubber meets the road is proably right inside folk’s homes. Take a peek into mine: in times past I attempted to throw the good book at my wife and the results were disatrous. Over the years I have learned (am learning) to be more patient, accepting, forgiving of her; more loving to her. So in turn our relationship has gotten better and better and better.
