The wife is to be ruled by her husband: The Excellent Wife P/2



                                     Read Part One HERE

In this post I continue to focus on bible teacher and author Martha Peace. This time we will look at a statement from Chapter Two of her book "The Excellent Wife."

Martha Peace: God is perfect and we can completely trust that He knows what is best for us even though husbands are not perfect and many may not be saved. In spite of the husband's imperfections, God has chosen to place the wife under the authority of her husband."

My Comment

According to Genesis 1:26-28 God placed the woman alongside the man to rule over creation together. It is clear from that passage that the man was given authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air and every living creature that moves on the ground. However, he was not given authority over the woman who, incidentally, was given the same authority as the man over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air and all the creatures that move along the ground. God, therefore, did not place her under the authority of her husband as Martha Peace seems to believe.
