first and foremost i must preface my response by saying that in many instances the bible is WRONGLY interpreted...to fully understand the context of the verse in question you have to one take the entire chapter and maybe even the entire book in to consideration...place, time, context, culture, misinterpretation past and present, as well as the fact that the king james version at least is highly questionable in some areas...if i am ever married i will not say obey...not to disrespect my husband but a marriage in my opinion does not negate the equality of man and wo-man...therefore i expect him to treat me the way that i treat him...obey implies that there is a lesser equal of the two...man and wo-man are fully equal on all levels...
