I Believe Women Should Obey Their Husbands
well this is what my mom says and she even read it to me in the bible about the husband being the head of the family and i guess she means it too because she does things his way all the time.

I'm a Christian myself, so please don't take this the wrong way. The Bible itself doesn't teach fear, but a lot of really selfish and ignorant people use the words of the Bible to justify poor behavior.
I live in a very conservative place in the United States. When I meet men who talk about wanting to live the way "intended" in the Bible, what they're really saying is that they want a woman that will take care of them, agree with them, and never argue. They want a woman that will do what she's told, as though she were a child, and one that they can discipline as a child. They want a woman that will give away everything that she has that is human, and do so quietly, so that they themselves can have a healthy social life, good work life, and come home to a clean house and orderly world that revolves around them.
I firmly believe that that is not what is intended in the Bible, and it is not appropriate anymore in our society. Nevertheless, I've seen men teaching young boys and little girls that this is the way things should be, because "God says so."
