> I'm not talking about walking all over and dominating my wife, though. That is not what the Bible teaches at all. That's wrong. If I do that, I'm only using the parts of Scripture that I like, and throwing out the rest, and that won't wash with God.

> Neither do I. I'm not talking about stereotypical "duties" for husbands and wives. Roles and responsibilities in the home should be delegated according to where each person's strengths lie. If my wife was better at accounting than me and enjoyed it, I wouldn't feel like I wasn't a Biblical husband by letting her manage our money. If I enjoyed cooking and was really good at it (I'm not), then I'd have no problem making dinner while my wife did other things.

Can I ask you in what ways you believe the husband *should* act as head of the house, then? I'm interested because I have only ever seen it described in terms which you have now said you don't consider necessary to this belief. If you don't mean roles and responsibilities in the home, what do you mean?
