Paul told the men to love their wives, but he told the
wives to honor or respect their husbands. Why was that, anyone?
Ephesians 5
In the culture of that day, telling men to love their wives was shocking. Telling wives to honour their husbands was telling them not to take advantage of their new equality.
Today, when we are socially and culturally equal, the advice we give should be geared to men and women in our culture, where the needs are different.
What I'm saying is that men and women don't have fundamentally different needs as human beings, but our culture profoundly shapes how we interact.
