That is different from a child working a full time job as was once done.I had a paperound while I was at school - and later a Saturday job.

Probably true. I also had a paper route when I was young and thought it was a good thing. I think they are sort of going the way of the dodo as newspapers close which is sad.True - some might still say it shouldn't be allowed though.
But it's hard to see how my husband rules over my body; if at all.
It's interesting to me that when one member of a couple is considering permanent contraception - eg. a vasectomy or tubal ligation - the doctors will generally want to make sure the other member of the couple is also on board. I guess that could be an example?

Yes, I think a number of married women/mothers work from necessity. 2 of my sisters-in-law went back to work after the birth of their sons, but would have happily stayed at home if they could have.
I don't have a paid job, sadly; I do voluntary work.
Thank you; you too.
Many women these days run away from the Home.
Hi; I don't find the idea of women working outside the home problematic.I am pretty sure that that would have been a shocking thing to say in those days - that a woman, who have few rights - could rule over her husband's body. I think Paul is probably saying that husband and wife are equal; neither having more power or rights than the other.
I think also that in some places the first part of this verse is taken to mean that a husband may do what he likes to his wife - i.e rape and sex on demand - because he owns and rules over her body. I've no doubt such people ignore the 2nd part of the verse.
But it's hard to see how my husband rules over my body; if at all.
He is not able to prevent physical changes, or if it goes wrong. He wasn't around when I decided to get my ears pierced or my hair permed or coloured. He is now, but he's not bothered. If I ever decided to get a tattoo, I might tell him; I wouldn't ask him for permission. When I needed surgery, I needed it; it wasn't a case of 'does he agree?'
Do I rule over his body? No, and he doesn't believe otherwise - he completely ignored suggestions that we could diet together as we both needed to lose weight. The only thing that made him decide to do it was a suggestion from his doctor, shortly after he'd had a pacemaker fitted.
