Even more ‘oddly’ is that in the New Testament, husbands are told to LOVE their wives, while wives are told to RESPECT their husbands.
A woman who is loved is treated with ultimate respect and defended by her husband against threats.
A loving man who is respected by his wive does not put her down in the machismo-lowbrow-hillbilly-Clintonesque stereotype, he treats her as outlined in Proverbs 31.
I agree.
