I have not heard of the tract.
***This book teaches that a woman has no moral duty other than to obey her husband (or her father, if she is unmarried). ***
Not sure what this means.
The number of times I have asked my wife to "submit" to my decision as the head of the home, I can counrt on one hand (29 years of marriage). In each of those cases I had listened to her perspective carefully enough to be able to articulate it to her in such a way that she knew I had "gotten" what she was saying.
Knowing her perspectives, I asked her to "submit" to my decisions for reasons I explained to her. My wife is a strong personality (scores in the 85 percentile on dominant in the T-JTA) but in each of these cases she has "submitted" to my decision without dragging her heels.
Knowing she will "submit" to me puts me under the pressure to ask it only when I would feeel comfortable explaining to the Lord why I asked her to do it. I am accountable to Him.
I have shared that approach with the couples I have counseled and married.
Not sure what this means. It means (according to the author) that if a man tells his wife to commit a sin (such as adultery) or a crime (such as murder), then God wants the woman to obey. In effect, there is no such thing as right and wrong for women, only obedience or disobedience to their husbands.
You said: Knowing she will "submit" to me puts me under the pressure to ask it only when I would feeel comfortable explaining to the Lord why I asked her to do it. I am accountable to Him. Do you mean that if you asked your wife to commit an obvious sin or a crime, you believe you would be responsible, not her?
I'm not trying to start a fight (honest!), just to nail down the exact meaning.
Thank you.
