Okay, yes I know it's oh so biblical, but is it just that way because it makes it easier on you? I mean, instead of having to listen to your wife or finding a compromise the husband can say "No. Last word."
I was raised in a Christian enviroment. The whole the husband is the head of the household still exists. My sister in law does everything my brother wants and would never disagree with him on anything because she is his wife and therefore must not even when what he is saying or doing is absolutely wrong. I can't wrap my mind around it except that it's just easier than compromising and working together because if that fails or if they don't bother the husband can just get the final word in as the head of the household. Am I right?
Clearly, I don't agree with this sort of mentality or the gender bias that it requires, but I'm looking for some sort of rational to this. Faith, stereotypes, prejudice of women ect. are not reason. What is your reasoning?
