I tried not to post this, but I can't help myself.

I know that it's a common joke for husbands to
refer to their wives as "the boss" or to let them
"wear the pants," and I figure you're all
probably saying these things at least half in
jest. At least I hope so. Because a
domineering wife and a subservient (dare I
say "henpecked?) husband a happy marriage
do not make.

Before I go any further, keep in mind that I'm
looking at this from a Biblical perspective. A
husband is supposed to be the leader of his
home. His wife is a partner, a help meet for
him. Paul referred to marriage as a picture of
Christ and the church. The husband
represents Christ, the head. He is supposed
to love his wife, care for her, meet her needs,
and guide her. She is supposed to love him,
honor him, and submit to him. A marriage
where the husband and wife work together
this way is a beautiful thing. When these roles
get mixed up, it breeds nagging wives, angry
husbands, miserable children, and often
leads to divorce -- and all that goes with it.
