Should husbands take instructions from autocratic wives? Could such women be managed? Or should men stand up like men and challenge them?
 
what to do when a wife goes bitter after she realizes men have to make the hard decisions and move forward for there lively hood, yet she still harbors resentment toward her husband

Eph 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Eph 5:23 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.
Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27 That 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.
Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
Eph 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
 
I think a marriage is 50/50.It is team work.One partner should not try to control the other.I would hope that a couple got to know each other very well before they married so they know what to expect from their marriage partner.There are some people who are very dependent and want to be led around.

I certainly hope that they would have discussed the situation and have considered each others feelings and wants and needs.You can not only think of yourself in a marriage it is two.

so what then when a wife demands her input should dictate a husbands decisions

IEph 5:23 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.

Eph 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

I don't think anyone should demand anything.The opinion should have been given to her freely.You discuss things in a marriage before they are done.It is a partnership.

I believe the op is referring to a domineering spouse (autocratic)

should a husband have more decision making power in a marriage?
 
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
what if a husband is making huge sacrifices of comfort for the lively hood of the family
and the wife does not want that sort of discomfort. and tries to stop the husband from making a hard choice for the sake of her desire. Should the husband move forward with the sacrificce?
Didnt the desciple peter try to prevent the removal of the mesiah, for the sake of his desire to be with him.?
yet Jesus still made the decision to dye for the ones he loved.
Do you think they wanted to see him hang on that cross?
Do you feel like a wife wants to sacrifice comfort and stability when a husband feels they need to do so in faith?
 
who has the scriptural authority be the head of a household?
Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Pro 25:24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.

Ephesians 5:22 does not mean that the man has the upper hand or can make all the decisions.I just means she should respect her husband.But that goes both ways.
 
50 / 50 decision making is not scripural I cannot comprehend that reasoning it is bias from feminine position
Eph 5:23 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.
Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

Why?The wife is also not supposed to be a door mat.And they husband is not supposed to take a domineering roll.
 
did Jesus leave the ear off the soldier that took him after peter cut it off. I mean 50 /50 would be one ear is mine to do with what I want and the other is yours to leave their if you want.
No Jesus told peter to put down his sword or he would dye by it and then he put the ear back on

to submit means forfeit your own will and allow authority to another
Col_3:18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Eph 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
