The man has the final say...or else what?
I got sidetracked into a discussion "Christian" marriages in the last couple of pages of this thread.
Whenever these "man is the head of the household" discussions crop up, I always try to find out what happens if the wife does not agree to this and I never get an answer. I invariably get accused of attacking other peoples' marriages or implying that the man is abusive. I also get responses that essentially deny the possibility of a woman in one of these marriages ever defying her husband's "authority. (kind of scary if you really think about it). I've asked this question before, specifically in threads about Promise keepers. The man is supposed to go home after one of those blubbering rallies at some football stadium and then order his wife to "submit." (I don't care how you dress it up, that's what it amounts to) What is the man supposed to do if his wife says no? What if she won't submit? What if she won't agree that he's the head of the household. What is the husband supposed to do with a non-compliant wife? I would imagine that divorce is not an option, so what is the proper course of action? What if she agrees to live in a marriage like this for a while, but then changes her mind? What if she wants to convert to Wicca, what then? There must be answers to these questions but I can never, ever get any, please help me out? Is there anything in PK literature that says what to do? |
