If so, how and when should I discipline them? Should I home school, send them to private school or public school? What foods should I eat and what foods should I avoid? Should I exercise? If so, how, how often, when, and where? When I’m sick, should I see a doctor, believe God, take medicine or natural supplements? How should I manage my money? Should I make a budget?
It’s a striking fact that every New Testament passage discussing the role of a wife in relation to her husband requires her to submit to him (Eph. 5;22-24; Col. 3:18; 1 Pet. 3:1; Titus 2:5), while no passage indicates that a husband should be subordinate to his wife. Any honest reading of Scripture must conclude that a wife is commanded to submit to her husband.
