Women have been treated with disrespect tantamount to slavery. It frustrates women and gives marriage a black eye.
What woman would want to be married if she was leaving one "Father" situation only to become a daughter to the next man.
A woman wants to move into her own realm of talents and gifts as she makes a life with a husband. The husband should be a companion, not a slave owner.
I have a book that sheds more light on this subject, can't remember the name, but I read it several years ago. It is written by a theologian who studied the Greek words associated with "help mate." The author showed that the position of a wife as help mate, was not one of servitude such as house maid, but rather a "coach."
She was given the position of counseling her husband on important matters of life. When a man resists this counseling, he resists God's ordinance. Of course anyone who resists training and teaching from anyone else, when it comes from those who walk with God, are unteachable spirits. But the position of the wife to be the "quality assurance" for her husband, is Biblical and not a suggestion but a mandate.
