....."Several people seemed to be uncomfortable. ;O)".....

Yes I know the passage well. It's always funny how the wives part is preached hard and loud, but the part about Jesus giving His life for the Bride and well,...you know, the Bridegroom being Jesus like, is hardly preached at all. It always fascinates me how the wife is supposed to follow her husband when he is a no good bum. I don't think he is "Jesus like" and the head of the family if he gambles and drinks all the money away and expects dinner on the table after a hard night of chasing women. That part of the sermon is always "next Sunday".

If the husband is Jesus like, prays himself up for guidance, and does what the Spirit has led him to do, then yes, I think the woman should thank God for a good husband and father and submit to his leading because he is being led by the Spirit. Otherwise, he gets the broom handle when staggering through the door.

Being a husband and father has LARGE responsibilities if you do it per the Bible.

I agree with you 100% but, where is “I think” or “ I don’t think” in the scripture?
