But, she is free to resist his headship any time she feels he is wrong or treating her wrongly. Only she can draw the line. Corinthian wives did not have to stay under the dominion of their husbands, no matter how much doing so seems preferred by us. Someone will argue that husbands and wives have different roles in the home, so why not in the church, even if there were an equality of sorts. I know of no distinctive Biblical roles in the home for which only men are responsible.
Wives give birth and some nurse children.
But men vacuum, wash dishes, feed babies, iron clothes, make beds, write checks, pay bills, and paint houses. They discipline children, fix toys and mow lawns. They work for pay, drive trucks, repair cars, etc. Women also do all of these things. God does not define the things only women or men can do in the home.
