I Believe Women Should Obey Their Husbands
Truly. I also believe that he should treat her as the Bible says. That's the part so many people forget about because it's not convenient for them.

Lots of people still live like this, but often times it covers up abuse -- and I don't say that to put down "the lifestyle," I say it because it's a harsh truth and it needs to be rooted out when it's discovered (by both those living by the Bible and those who are not).
You can have a relationship that is BOTH an equal partnership and a Biblical one, but it's rare, and it's entirely dependent on mutual trust, mutual respect, and shared goals. You can't have a woman who only wants this position because she NEEDS to be told what to do or she feels she is less of a person, and you can't have a man who wants this position because they need to be unquestioned and in absolute control at all times.
Most of the time, when I see men openly advertising that they want this kind of a relationship, they use certain words like "alpha male" and "master of the house." These are absolute red flags for a man that is probably going to be abusive, or make decisions without any consideration for his wife's input, feelings, or well-being.
