The televangelist told host Steve Gruber, “If there’s ever a time that a decision has to be made and we don’t agree on something, he’s the head.”
“It’s not hard to submit,” she added.

Maybe it’s been a bit harder for this cosplaying trad-wife loony-toon to submit than she’s willing to admit…???
🤷♂️ 🙄 🤡
they’re all con artists. they actually believe about 0% of the bullshit they spew 24/7. it doesn’t matter because their cultist followers believe 100% and provide money and votes, in exchange for being told that jesus loves racism and sexism, and hates brown people and gays

Family values am I right? Bet she has a vaginal resurrection before each wedding so she could wear white at the ceremony.
This is nothing but a counterpoint anecdote to the article (not a counterpoint to your comment).
My wife and I also mutually prefer a more traditional family dynamic for ourselves but have no belief that it’s the best way or right for anyone else. We needed a tiebreaker system and for better or worse we also chose that I am the ultimate authority when we disagree.
It doesn’t come up often, but when it does, more often than not, I’ll choose her side over my own because if everything goes to shit she doesn’t tell me I told you so because I did what she wanted, and I don’t get to say it either because the final choice was mine and if I didn’t put my foot down for my beliefs that’s my own fucking fault.
I wish someone had laid that out for me in the beginning because I feel like I got a raw fucking deal. She gets to whine and pout and stomp her feet while I’m forced to be logical and judicious. Sometimes I want to just damn logic and demand a certain outcome just because I really want it.
Not really a point here other than, if you genuinely care for your partner, having the final say isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. And if someone thinks being in charge means they always get their way… I lose all respect for them.
You came to realize that marriage is a partnership. Your spouse is your partner, not your mother/father, not your caregiver (unless necessary via illness.)
Good for you.
That’s not really how I would characterize it. This is a second marriage for us both so we knew that going in. But take out the condescension and of course you’re spot on. Point being that still can/ought to hold true even in traditional/patriarchal family dynamics. So these tradwife folks that advocate subservience aren’t even doing their own dynamic right if they make a point of removing the partnership.
Fuck off. That’s your religion, not mine.
Wait….so we’re just going to ignore the separation of church and state, never mind spouting off sexist bullshit?
Whenever I used to meet women republicans I would always bring up how the other republicans don’t really care about their point of view and just want their votes. For example, if they are against abortion because they believe that it is actually murder, I respect their opinion even if I disagree with them. But I would always tell them that the people, specifically republican men, are not agreeing with them for the same reason. They don’t care about whether or not it’s murder, they just want to control women’s bodies and turn them into breeders. It’s never been about the unborn and it’s always been about the fact that these men don’t believe women have the right to deny them their future children.
People used to say that my opinion on the matter is extreme and that they couldn’t possibly think of women like that. But now here we are in the year of our Lord 2025 and the government’s religious advisor is saying that women need to submit to men. And I’m sure before we can even blink they’ll be trying to remove women from public office and get rid of their right to vote. They’re already firing them under the pretense of DEI.
Bonkers? These people read/watch something like Handmaid’s Tale and are rooting for the wrong side. This is entirely expected.
By the way? This woman should take advice from “the” bible and make sure she’s not in a position of power of any man and she should remain silent. What does she think she is doing when she is teaching about religion? Her own religion forbids it.
“But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.”
I asked someone more knowledgeable than me about Timothy and he offered this:
I find his style somewhat arrogant, but I love history, so I find this appealing.
Wish the bible was more than just Cliff’s Notes.
