Some protestants do not ordain women either. My synod does not and will never ordain women. And I agree with it. We all have our unique place in the Body of Christ. Men cannot bear children. Women do. Men are designated by God as the head of the household and head of the Church. It works better when we do it the way God ordained it.
I will say that the passage about women obeying their husbands is often misinterpreted. Women are to obey their husbands, no question. But the last half of the verse is usually left out. Men are to love their wives as Christ loves the Church - and to lay down their life for their wives. What a privileged place God has given us. To bear children, be loved and cherished!

Amen
A Catholic husband knows what his job is: to help his wife and children get to heaven.

That’s his Prime Directive: He needs to do whatever needs to be done to help his wife and children be holy.

Why? Because he loves them, and he wants eternal life for them and himself.
