From the article: “But at the end of the day, it’s women who bear the brunt of the principle; their obligations are to God, not to a husband who may or may not keep his end of the contract.”
This is a lie. The husband is directed to love his wife like Christ loves the Church. Christ literally gave his life in sacrifice for the Church. That is a very heavy obligation for husbands and is owed to wives whether or not their wives submit. Husbands are also responsible to God for how they treat their wives. In other words, wives do not bear the “brunt” of the submission doctrine.
The submission doctrine means both husband and wife serve each other. According to scripture, the husband is supposed to make that decision (and is responsible for it) but a loving husband would first consult and value their wife’s opinions. That should be completely uncontroversial for anyone well versed in scripture, but I suppose leftists can’t accept that someone has to be in charge. That’s not a surprise, because they generally deny God’s authority, too.
Thank You!
If Christian husbands loved and treated their wives like Christ loves the Church, wives would have no problem being under their husband’s umbrella.
Hear hear!
