Yes, and I believe the only way that can really happen is for both the man and wife be surrendered to the Lord - not just born again, but surrendered.

Wives surrender to your husbands AS UNTO THE LORD.

Husbands love your wife AS CHRIST LOVED THE CHURCH AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR IT.

Christian women and men who walk after the flesh and rely on themselves to do this utterly fail, one reason we have such a high divorce rate among Christians.

That is probably one reason Paul said, “It is good for a man not to touch a woman.” The woman’s role in marriage is especially grievous to her flesh - she must be so surrendered to the Lord that she will endure suffering in the flesh to find that life that is “very sweet and peaceful”, which is promised such a wife (1 Peter 3:4-6).

Nothing is more obvious or more unbalanced in a family than a henpecked husband. As always.... women want to be men and men want to be God.

Most of the women working outside the home I know are unhappy...some actually miserable.

I friend who is highly successful in real-estate loved it when she had to remain at home during the shut down. She was happy cooking and paying attention to homemaking work and catering to her husband....needless saying he loved it too!
