Yet, many may see the husband’s imperfections as an opportunity to exchange roles, as if he has lost his chance to lead.”

If “husband’s imperfections” are not sin(s) then what would they be? Lack of wisdom? Personal preferences?

Starke wrote:”What would cause a wife to rebel against the biblical mandate to follow the leadership of the husband? Baxter gives a few reasons:
Failure to believe God’s will is best. God’s design for the Christian family, which includes the structure of authority and submission, is best! God is wise and we, as sinners, need divine wisdom. He writes, “Who are you to assess God’s Word in a way different than his own qualifications.”

So, we are to believe that God’s Divine Wisdom is for wives to be in “joyful” submission to “the failures of husbands” and “the husband’s imperfections” ???

Again, what are these “failures of husbands” and “husband’s imperfections”?
