We are to obey our husbands if what they are asking does not disobey God. Absolute obedience to any human is to deny God. We must obey God first if the husband will not.
If the husband tells the wife to watch porn movies with him, she is to decline, even taking step to keep it out of the house. God gave the homemaking domain to the wife, she is to protect her home from evil. If her husband will not then she must.
To follow the husband to disobey God is to make the husband the god over her. The husband is the leader but he is not sovereign. Sometimes the wife must say no to evil to follow Christ.
There are those who use the scripture that says that Sarah called her husband "Lord."
I will never call anyone "Lord" that is reserved for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Just because someone in the word said something does not mean we are all commanded to do it.
Ananias and Sapphira lied to the Holy Spirit, does that mean we should all do that?
Sapphirah should have disobeyed her husband, but they collaborated together to lie. If she had been a good wife she would have refused and he might have changed his mind allowing them both to live.
I have actually heard men advice a godly woman to watch porn with her unsaved husband because she should obey her husband. This thinking is a perversion of God's command to obey our husbands.
Never obey a husband when he wants you to commit a crime, an indecent act or any other thing that dishonors and disobeys God.
Acts 5:29
"29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men."
The apostles made it clear that if the authorities over us command us to do evil we are to resist and decline.
We have been given charge over the home, we are the keepers of that home. This means that if anyone attempts to bring evil into it we are to resist the evil.
