But does she HAVE to take your advice and guidence, while you can CHOOSE to take hers or not?
Yeah, she HAS to do anything and everything he says. Otherwise a good ole fashioned wife beating will ensue. What exactly are you implying by stating his wife HAS to take his advice. What do you think happens when his wife disagrees. I bet there is a big arguement and she ends up getting her way. Just a hunch though.

But you have said that when you have a disagreement about some action to take, you and god get together and decide what to do, and she will abide by your descision.
I highly doubt he is high fiving Jesus and having a freaking roundtable over whether he and his wife should attend the Michaelson party next week. Come on. He consults the teachings of Christ and his belief for answers. His wife always believes in the teachings of Christ. So I guess they both agree then don't they?

That, by definition, means that, even if it's in a small way, you can tell her what to do and she must simply do it. This is what you have explained to me as her role as a good Christian wife, unless you are changing things now.
Your definition is murky. What is YOUR definition anways? Perhaps the believers of the forum would like to criticize it.

To me, this is not really true respect. Unless she can ALWAYS have the option to say "no" and make it stick if she feels the need to, unless there is never a time when one of you can simply overrule the other, true mutual respect is not possible. Not adult mutual respect, anyway.
Of course his wife has the option to say NO (or YES for the matter). Every one does. Do you understant this yet?
Lovely scripture you quoted, however, the woman has CHOSEN the role of subservience. Matter of fact, the entire Christian belief is based on subservience to Christ. They are emulating Christ as instructed.
Don't get yourself into this type of relationship if you disagree. Others can make their own choices.
