The first verse merely says that Sarah called Abraham her lord, and the second says that she called him that because she obeyed him. While women do have to obey their husbands as their lord (Ephesians 5:22-24), nowhere does God stipulate that they must refer to their husbands as "my lord."

You weren't trying to make her do
all of the household chores, were you? Things like mowing and reshingling are men's work far beyond the cognitive capabilities of a mere female. Women are to perform the chores
inside the house.

Now these are indeed valid problems, but they are ones endemic in modern secular society.

How on earth did this topic come up in conversation with your date?

Are you a Muslim or something? The verse says her hair must be covered while she "prays or prophesies," not all the time. If she doesn't cover her hair in church, she's going to Hell, but if she goes bare-headed in public, that's acceptable.

Those verses don't say she has to be younger than you. However, she certainly does have to submit.

Proverbs 13:24 tells you to spank your children, not your wife. Also, you have to be married to her first. And Hebrews 12:6 refers to the relationship between the Lord and His followers, NOT between husband and wife. Are you calling yourself God? That is a grave sin (Isaiah 45:5). Enjoy Hell, sinner.
