Thanks Dave, Kay and Cheryl for your responses. There are still some things going way over my head, and I am struggling to get my head around them:)
On the “sister” post to this one, @ 19 Gengwall wrote,
“1 Cor 11 is a little different animal. The body is not in view so we can’t use the anatomical context. That doesn’t mean 1 Cor 11 is speaking of hierarchical relationships. Ironically, that is why “source” fits so well there, but doesn’t exactly fit in Ephesians 5. But that is a discussion better left to the sister post of this one.”
On this post @ 252 Cheryl wrote concerning 1 Cor 11,
“The wife is so connected to the husband’s honor as a body is intimately connected to the head”,
Am I correct in thinking that Cheryl is seeing the husband/wife in a head/body metaphor relationship in 1 Cor 11:5 just as in Eph 5, wheras Gengwall is not?
