sh0uld man be the head of the household and make all the major spirtual and other big decisons after discussing with his wife or should the wife and man be equal in making the decisions?
Your thoughts?
Me and shane are the same page on this but curious what other people thoughts?

I think that the man should be the head, and ultimately will have enough love for his wife to listen to her in regards to each situation in life(meaning that they would be equal!). Hmm...does that make sense? ;)
First, in a sinless world woman would follow man and man would love his wife. We all know that things are not always as they were planned (Look closely at any book of the bible.) Feminism is a response to the unlove of many men towards their wives. While their lamentation is justified, their conclusions are often debilitating.
God's justice on the other hand is in new restorative promises. We must keep that in mind when dealing with questions of feminism. The response to evil in much Old Testament theology (but not all) has traditionally been one of vengence, retribution, and vindicative justice. The Gospel, and those proper solutions posited in the OT reinforce or remind us that if we are not living up to the uberhigh standards of love, somebody suffers.
Lest I repeat myself, Men love your wives. Women, obey your husbands.
We have simply added this: Men, love your wives
it's a bit of a different equation for everyone. Glad you agree.
