This verse is probably hated by more women than any other verse in the Bible. The spirit of rebellion will not sit idly by in the heart of a woman when she hears the words, "he shall rule over you." To a woman, these words confront her unbelief and mistrust in her husband; is evidence of not loving her husband. Love believes all things.
A wife's desire for her husband will naturally result in her giving him authority over her, because she believes he has taken full responsibility for her.
The marriage should progress with the husband initiating and the wife completing. Should a change be required or should something need to be initiated, it is the husband's responsibility and duty to start the actions. The wife is to look to her husband and help him bring about solutions.
Does this mean that the husband is to blame when something goes wrong; if the marriage fails? No. Taking responsibility is not concerned with finding fault and placing blame; signs of immaturity. Taking responsibility is focused on improvement and correction – doing it better.
The husband should listen to the advise of his wife and take it into consideration in his decisions. Her incites are of value. She will perceive things he may have overlooked. With יְהוֹוָהYahuah (Yahweh), husband and wife in one accord, the right decisions will result.
In His Love
