[Prophet in the wilderness]

As the husband as the head of the household is in now way for the wife to be a slave.
God is the one who ordained for the husband to be the head authority and leader in the household, and is no way to diminish the part that the woman has in both " MAN & WOMAN in CHRIST ".
but, as a family unit, God placed the husband to be the head authority and leader, and placed much responsibility on the husband.
God placed both parents to be the authority over the children.
In God's universe, there is order, and without order ( as we see today in one parent households, and society ) we have chaos, and disorder, with much thanks to the feminist.

[Abigail Adams]

I didn't say that the wife is to be a slave. I'm saying that the instructions Paul is giving in Ephesians 5 and 6 are to husbands and wives, children and parents, and slaves and masters. And since they are all part of the same passage in the same letter, all the instructions should be treated the same. Either as timeless truths to be followed for all time, or as culturally relative instructions for a particular people of a particular time and culture.
