Jeremiah 6:16a NKJV
"Stand in the ways and see,
And ask for the old paths, where the good way is."
“The husband is the head of the wife and the head of the family. That is God’s ordinance, and Paul compares it with the relationship of Christ to the Church. So the wife is exhorted to submit herself because the husband is her head. A Christian man should know how to honor his wife, as the Apostle proceeds to tell us. He does tyrannize over his wife. He gives her her place, he pays her respect. That is the ideal, and the true, and the Christian relationship; but it is never at the expense of what is laid down so plainly in the Old Testament, and in the New, that the husband is the head of the wife.”
-David Martyn Lloyd-Jones Welsh Minister 1899-1981
