After fifty-two years of marriage, my wife says the same thing about her husband. Both of us, in fact, have changed.

There is not a single reference in the Bible where they are not mentioned together. One of the keys to biblical headship is delegated authority. Back in World War II the ship I was on approached a harbor that was unfamiliar to our captain.
