Nineteen Things We Assume the Bible Teaches Clearly but Doesn't Regarding Manhood and Womanhood in Marriage

I'm very thankful (and a little shocked) at the amount of people who thanked me for my message on Sunday about God's unique calling on wives and moms in the context of the family. I didn't have time during the first service to go through this list, but I did promise I'd post it on my blog. So here it is...

1. That it’s wrong for a woman to wear makeup, nice clothes, and care about what she looks like. 
2. That marriage is commanded, such that it’s a sin to be unmarried. 
3. That a wife’s submission is because she’s weaker, or less intelligent. 
4. Which kinds of clothing are “modest” and which are “immodest” 
5. That headship is easier than submission. 
6. That the man must lead every prayer and family devotion 
7. That it’s okay to abuse a woman in any way. 
8. That for God to give certain roles to some that He doesn't give to others necessarily implies that they’re superior in some way to the ones who aren't given those roles. 
9. That its’ the dad’s job to disciplines the kids (when he gets home from work.) 
10. That Eve was deceived because she was more gullible than the man. 
11. That the husband mediates the relationship between his wife and God. 
12. That a woman should submit to her husband instead of to God. 
13. That a wife must say ‘yes’ every time a husband asks her to do something.
14. That a wife can’t correct her husband when he’s in the wrong 
15. That every woman must submit to every man. 
16. Which activities in the home are for women, and which are for men 
17. Which characteristics are ‘masculine’ and which are ‘feminine’. 
18. What headship and submission will look like in every season of married life.
19. That headship and submission will look exactly the same in every Christian home.
