Amen

Her place being complimentary to her husband, much like Christ and His bride.

Oh David, you don't know how hard it has been for me, and many of my sisters, that our husbands have not taken the spiritual responsibility for the family. My husband being lukewarm, and 'hiding behind me' has caused me so much pain and tears through the years. I haven't had anyone to lean on spiritually, but have been left to fend alone, for our marriage, and our kids. And I believe his lukewarmness has played a part in all our three grown kids walking away from the faith. Because they see the inconsistency in his life. He may say that 'Jesus is the most important', but his life says something different. A he has even taught the kids to disregard what I say, as "Mum is so sensitive". I never asked to "wear the pants" as far as spiritual leadership in the home. Nor did I want to be the one taking *all* initiative, while he is passive. In the Bible I see the Bridegroom lovingly win his Bride, and that she responds to His love with trust, confidence and wholeheartedness. When a woman senses that her husband holds back hesitatingly, and waits for her to take initiative and give direction, It creates a sense of insecurity for the wife. This has been SO immensely painful for me. He hardly wants to talk about faith at all, and very selfom does he read the Bible. And he prays only sporadically. "Let's pray a *short* prayer". If my husband had taken his *role* as a Christian husband and father (and in the church) seriously, then it would have given me so much peace, and it would have *set me free* . As it is now, I'm devastated, very lonely, and he's backslidden. I would have loved to "know my place" next to a husband who lovingly and self-sacrificially leads the family, and guides the kids. A man who knows what he wants, and who loves the Lord, and 'steers the ship' with a steady hand, is so attractive. A man who humbles himself before God, and who 'protects and serves' his wife and children is such an admirable *role* for him to have. I don't think I find any other trait as attractive in a man, as one who really loves the Lord, and His Word, and who is committed to lovingly lead, and provide for his family. The opposite, a marriage with a man who doesn't lead, or take his spiritual responsibility seriously, is like being out in the open sea with a man who refuses to hold the rodder - and you all end up tossed to and fro by the waves, with no steady direction, and no sense of where we are going. It's a whole marriage of storms and waves, and a sense of "we're about to drown". So much of our years of misery could have been avoided, if he had simply "been the man".

That’s EXACTLY what it is. It’s part of the Christian Nationalist Extremism agenda

So... Because of Humanity's desire to reverse it's role's with God?

But that role reversal was sinning against God. In sin they wanted to become like God. So no, the role reversal was a part of the first sinning.
