Wives Should Call Their Husbands “Lord”
How many of them could imagine calling their husband lord with a straight face?
In Douglas Wilson’s own words: 1 quote from 1995, from Reforming Marriage, cited to the source.
As Peter teaches, women need to understand they are being led by a lord. “As Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror” (1 Pet. 3:6). Unfortunately, many women are led (if it can be called leading) by men who believe themselves to be nothing more than walking, talking, living, breathing impositions. How many Christian women today can be considered as daughters of Abraham? How many of them could imagine calling their husband lord with a straight face? Him? But a husband is one who cultivates with authority.
