I know many complementarians who, although they believe men should
hold authority over women in the home, church, and society, make an exception for the marriage bed, acknowledging the Apostle Paul's teachings on mutuality in this regard (1 Corinthians 7:1 - 5).
In contrast, complementarians «believe the Bible establishes
male authority over women, making male leadership the biblical standard.»
Luther believed that the law which grants
men authority over women was designed not only to punish women but also to curb evil intentions.
• Epistemology or knowledge: God has revealed, through Scripture and nature, that males are to
hold authority over women the whole of their life.
By roles they mean one thing — males have
authority over women.
According to this post, sex is just another avenue through which a man must exert
his authority over woman.
«Men have
authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them.
