I think this portion of Scripture is one of the most abused and misapplied ones in the Bible. Guys conveniently forget to turn the page and read the bit about a husband loving his wife "as Christ loved the church" as it says in my KJV. What did He do for the "church" He gave up everything. This suggests to me that marriage is more of a 2 way street than some people on this forum seem comfortable with. No, I don't believe that a woman should nag her husband constantly to try to get her way. (Not only is it disrespectful but it never works!) javascript:add(%22%20: %22) However, any man who exploits Scripture to bully and browbeat his wife really doesn't love her. There's an excellent chapter on this whole topic of "covering" in a book called "The Many Faces Of Deception-Discovering The Truth About Some Controversial Teachings In The Church" by Florence Bulle, Bethany House, 1989. ISBN 1-55661-075-0 The book is also known as 'The New, Expanded Edition Of "God Wants You Rich" And Other Enticing Doctrines'
