I think I'm done allready thanks for the laugh Kathi. Best wishes I feel like you either want to call me names or pray for me, so I'll just say a quick prayer that you dont want to call me names. No pun intended

Couples first need to submit to God James 4:7.Husbands are to submit to Christ 1 Corinthians11:2-3.Ephesians 5 is not about a one-sided submission of a believer to selfishness of being a domineering partner.

Should husbands take instructions from autocratic wives? Could such women be managed? Or should men stand up like men and challenge them?

for the O.P.
Pro 27:15 A continual dripping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike.
Pro 27:16 Trying to keep her in check is like stopping a wind storm or grabbing oil with your right hand.
Pro 16:7 When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Pro 16:32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

I believe best thing to do is to let the woman prevail if she is NATURALLY a domineering woman or the fractious type. That doesn't make the man weak.

If the man knows that this woman is the domineering want to be in charge type when he marries her then that is his choice.

I don't think God can put two lions in one hole. Itd be fight all day. There will be peace when one party does the talking and the other does the listening .

certainly God can work out any scenario, and certainly you are accurate in saying "when one party does the talking and the other does the listening, there will be peace" but which party has scriptural authority to do the deciding and which party has is commanded to listen?
I feel like it is a simple concept given the scriptures concerning husband and wife.
Is it not???

 

[lowrab777]

if a woman cannot submit her will to her husband is she still fit to be a wife??

Just wanted to know a general view regarding such scenario - where a woman turns out to be the lion. A lot of women I know are just way too harsh towards their husbands. In most cases..it is their nature. A friend of mine told me: a man must be 'man' at home. How does that help remedy the tempest in such a family? Fire vs fire = destruction. Another woman, a preacher, is of the opinion men must must stand stand their ground. (I don't subscribe to the 50/50 stuff. If someone wants to be the lion I will be the mouse...and if someone is such a mouse then I will lion her up in love.).
