Are you comfortable allowing your husband to be your leader?

In the bible god commands husbands to lead their families


he commands wives to obey husbands and husbands to listen to wives.


I wanted to know how many women here (men can answer too) allow their husband to lead the family and obey his commands.Are you comfortable allowing your husband to be your leader?
Yes, how scary is that. But I know my husband is a godly man so yes I would feel comfortable with him leading me, however as most godly men he chooses not to act in a manner that is degrading to me and sees me as his equal.Are you comfortable allowing your husband to be your leader?
Yes, but the bible was written over 2000 years ago. It was also written in a part of the world where many would still hold that view today. What a lot of people forget is that the Bible is a product of it's time and region. It was written by men and only a handful of men in history have ever really followed the word of god.





I do not obey my husband, I respect him, there is a difference, luckily he respects me too much to expect or want me to obey. He also listens to me and I listen to him. He cannot shoulder the burden of leading the family and I wouldn't want him to have to, we are partners.
We lead in different things, and overall are equal. I honor my husband, and he honors me as well. Respect and honor need to go hand and hand. Obey, in a certain sense, is also part of respect. We both submit to God, and to each other, and in giving our 100% we know that we each gain greatly in the exchange because we are able to bring distinctive gifts to the marriage.


However, you, as many others, are misinterpreting what 'obey' means truly in the biblical sense. It is not meaning servitude, or blind obedience or taking orders, but is predicated on the faith the couple shares. It's adapting, adjusting, listening....


A husband is to love his wife as Christ loves the church. Then his wife should follow his example.


Obeying, or submission, is NOT one-sided, but both the husband and the wife yield to each other and to God. It's a two-way street, of honour and completeness.


The husband and wife submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.


“The woman was made out of Adam’s side. She was not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved.”


The obey issue has been misused throughout the centuries by people who thought that it meant that wives were to be treated as little more than a piece of property and that her husband is her master. That kind of thinking is how it's been misused.


It's not obey as in husband barks out orders and the wife obeys like a good dog. It's obey as in mutual respect, as in being aware of each others strengths and weaknesses and working together as a couple.
Good thing neither of us has ever owned, much less read, a bible.


We're partners, neither subservient to the other. If there's a decision to be made, we have equal weight in it.





No, he does not ';lead'; the family.


We lead it together. I would never stand for being ordered about like a servant or being made to feel that my place was beneath someone else, husband or no, and I wouldn't want him to feel as if I did that to him either.


I was raised with what I now understand is a progressive attitude for the time, and even now. I was always taught to bow to no one and that gender means nothing in terms of the respect you should have, who you can love, what you can do, what your role in life is; so was my husband and his brother, and that's how we bring up our children.
in the bible there are no good women in that book. Just bad women. it our fault we dont live in the garden of Eden. Yano you can tell that book was wrote by a man.
No I'm not. I like making my own choices and being my own person. Commands just aren't something I will take.


He doesn't own me, so I don't believe that I should have to obey everything he tells me.
A) The bible is a fictional work of literature


B) Anyone who lets someone command them is a senseless drone with nothing substantial to offer the world.
He does not command and I do not obey. We have a family together and together we decide what is best for it.
My husband isn't the commanding type.
