My very limited understanding is that, that group believes that the wife should be obedient to the husband. I don’t see it as a big deal but you are certainly right that the D’s will try and paint her as some king of nut job. And like you I say “Bring It!”.

Ephesians 5

19 Speak to one another by the songs in the holy writings, and songs of praise, and Christian songs. Sing and make a joyful noise in your hearts to the Lord.

20 Always thank God the Father for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

21 Give way to each other because you respect Christ.

22 Wives, obey your husbands as you obey the Lord.

23 The husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the church people. The church is his body and he saved it.

24 Wives should obey their husbands in everything, just as the church people obey Christ.

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church people. He gave his life for the church.

26 He did that so that he might make the church people holy, when they were washed with water by God’s word.

27 He gave his life for the church so that one day he can look at the church and see that the people are great and wonderful. The people of the church must have no dirty spot or wrinkle or any thing like that. But they are to be holy and good.

28 So husbands should love their wives as they love their own bodies. The man who loves his wife loves himself.

29 No one ever hated his own body. But he feeds it and takes care of it.

30 In the same way Christ takes care of the church because we are parts of his body.

31 The holy writings say `For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother. He shall be joined to his wife, and the two of them shall be like one person.’

32 This is a wonderful plan of God. I am speaking here of the plan about Christ and the church people.

33 However, each one of you should love his wife as he loves himself. And the wife should respect her husband.

And even that description has wide differences in application.
