Some of the advice here may seem old fashioned, as it is from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and the authors make no bones about it. But if we are to follow the Bible we must follow all the Bible says, we can't pick and choose. Now, the authors are quick to say that though a husband, a man, should be the leader of the family, see Ephesians 5:22-24, he should also lead in love, see Ephesians 5:25-33. They also note (p. 60) that: "Because, in a fallen world, people who are given authority sometimes believe that they are better than the people they’re leading. In a marriage, a man in his sinfulness can be deluded into thinking that because he’s the leader, he’s better. And so Peter reminds husbands to treat their wives as equals." Further down the authors state (ibid.): "God gives us authority and leadership as men, but it’s not to be used for our own self-aggrandizement; it’s to be used for the good of those we’re serving. That’s why we call it servant leadership and sacrificial leadership. It should be to the point of your own self-neglect; for the good of those you’re leading."
