InDEED, Miss 'Mom!
Discipline is correction of chaos and we know our LORD is not a Lord of Chaos but of Order. Consider the orderly way in which He created the world:
Day One: God
creates Light (Genesis 1:3-5)
Day Two: God
creates Heaven (Genesis 1:6-8)
Day Three: God
creates Land and Water (Genesis 1:9-13)
Then, our LORD goes to the trouble of DECORATING our universe!
Day Four: God
decorates the Heavens (Genesis 1:14-19)
Day Five: God
decorates the Land and Water (Genesis 1:20-23)
Day Six: God's masterpiece, he
decorates the earth with MAN (and eventually, from his rib, woman) (Genesis 1:24-31)
Day Seven: God Rests to make Sunday Holy (Genesis 2:2-3)
How glorious it is that our LORD, a Lord of Order, has created the perfect system so that He speaks His Will to the Man who, in turn, tells the woman what to think do. (1 Corinthians 11:3) See how perfectly that works out? He is orderly, She is decorative!
Any woman who doesn't know her husband's responsibility is to rule over her is thwarting God's divine and perfect plan, (Genesis 3:16) and a True Christian™ Husband is only restoring it.
