Funny line out of the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".

Wise older Mom to her daughter - "He may be the head of the household but I am the neck and let me tell you - the neck turns the head."

It was a funny scene where the ladies work together to get the Dad to make a decision so he THINKS it was HIS decison but really it was the women that got him to think that way.

I over heard an old man mumble one time at a comment a younger man had made, saying He was the king of his castle ... If a man says he's the king of his castle he'll lie about other things.

How much the woman is a picture of our soul.

I think in general with people you have to demand respect. I will not be disrespected by anyone at all. The fact is I think to many men in today's world are weak and allow themselves to be ran over by their wives. I don't think that men need to discipline women I think weak men need to discipline women. A strong man needs only his presences and how he carries himself to gain respect. If you have to discipline your wife for respect it turns from her being disrespectful to how are you as a man? What do you need to change about yourself? If your wife disrespects you other people are disrespecting you also.

I would suggest listening to some of Mark Driscolls sermons he talks about the roles of marriage a lot and he breaks it down so that it is easy to understand. I can tell you that my husband and I practice Biblical marriage, but I am no housewife!

This article on 11 practicle ways for men to lead a family....

Nothing that pertains to disciplining your wife, yes. None of the verses in either link pertain to physically disciplining a wife.


That page shoots down arguments for domestic discipline, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here.

Oh, you've made it for me. Thanks so much. :)
