I consider relationships to be mutual rather than one lording over the other. I know, it’s Biblical and all that but we are human beings too.
It’s not about “lording over”, it’s an explanation of what we see in human nature and why we see it.
Christianity is a way of life that requires we defeat that human nature.
Men are commanded to love their wives as Christ loved the Church, denying Himself and giving up his life for her.
