"The wife is to voluntarily submit, just as the husband is to lovingly lead and sacrifice," he writes, citing the Bible. "The husband’s part is to show up during the times of deep stress, take the leadership role and be accountable for the outcome, blaming no one else. The wife’s submission is not a matter of superior versus inferior; rather, it is self-imposed as a matter of obedience to the Lord and of love for her husband..."

And these clowns wonder why women are being driven to the Democrats?

Wanted a equal partner for a wife not a servant myself. He probably has a hard time relating with intelligent well adjusted women.

I respect combat veterans, and I especially respect pilots who put their lives at risk. But when he said the comment about everyone's role in the chain of command I knew he was a retired officer who thinks the world revolves around him still. An enlisted guy would never say that unless they were an uptight Sgt Major or something;)

The sad part iis that there are so many like him. At our wedding I told the pastor that I did not want to hear the word obey. There is an old Jewish saying;

"God did not take woman from man's forehead that he should command her,
Neither from his foot that she should be his slave,
Rather from his side that she should be close to his heart."

Works for me.

So he claims that the Lord said? Normally when you start hearing voices they lock you up.

Yet.

Besides, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that with some issues, direct force is not necessary, no legislation need be passed. All it takes is acceptance and endorsement of abhorrent behavior to legitimize it.

I've posted this article to Facebook for all the females in my life to peruse. I'll post their responses for you to examine.

Also; In my opinion, just because it comes from a so-called "Holy Book" doesn't mean it isn't garbage. But, that's just me. I'm not big on mindless sanctimony.

Not in the New Testament. In any case the Bible was written by men and considering how they blamed all our troubles on poor Eve, they were all male chauvinists.

How in man worth his salt can tell a woman that he loves her and in the next breath tells her she must submit to him I would not call a man. An arrogant worthless asshole maybe but not a man. That kind of hypocricy just does not fly with me (And I would love to see some guy try that on Florence the result would not be pretty). Her first husband discovered that as he was picking his clothes out of the snow,:)

Different roles? Marriage is not some damn play with actors. When I gave Florence my love it was unconditional as was hers to me. No wonder the country is in such poor effing state.

To each their own, I know Debbie looks to me for certain things and I to her. I didn't tell her she had to be that way. Man was made from dirt, woman, flesh. And sometimes, it's impossible to have a democracy with only 2 votes.

This is the text, King James, Ephesians 5:

22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

If we were to read I Corinthians 13 we would find that Paul suggested a different concept of love than what he told the Ephesians. Oh BTW later translations had a more accurate translation of the Greek Agape. Those clever Greeks had four words for love. Phileo or brotherly love, storge or affectionate love such as a father to his children. Eros, a purely physical love and where the word erotica was derived. Agape is a self effacing or unconditional love, sometime called a charitable love, probably wher King James translators came up with 'charity' but it is conceeded today that Faith , Hope and Love is the more accurate translation.

This is as my missus sees it, but it is her choice. I don't lord over her or ask submission from her, in fact I take great pains to ensure that she has the freedom and ability to do as she wishes. But as you mentioned, democracy is hard with only two votes. Generally if there is a disagreement and she cannot persuade me otherwise she will accept my word as final. But she has always respected my intelligence and judgment and knows I would never steer her wrong or do anything to damage our relationship.

FWIW...she's the biblethumper in our relationship, not I.

I don't know about that, but I do remember Bible School and one of the lessons was that the Old Testament represents what the world was before Christ and the New Testamant represents the life of Christ, his teachings, and onward from there.

Exactly and if you recall Paul (or Saul of Tarsus) started out persecuting Christians until he got zapped on the Road to Damascus. So he had never seen Jesus at first hand. He had his opinions but that is all they were. just as I have my opinions but I most certainly do not pretend nor presume that they are holy writ. It may well be that he had never seen the writings of the four desciples as the printing press was still a few centuries down the road.

In fact some believe Paul's first letters were written before the four gospels,
