Ephesians 5:23-24 commands wives not to manipulate their husbands and lead them into sin to get what they want. Ephesians 5:25-27 commands husbands not to react harshly to their wives' sins and mistreat her as a result.

The good news is that as Christ has come to redeem us from our sin, He has gives us commands that will restore things as God intended. The commands to wives and husbands in Ephesians 5:23-27 serve to reverse the Curse of Eve which curses both men and women in marriage.

The reality is that marriage in a fallen world is indeed cursed. No wonder many in the West nowadays do not want to marry, as God has turned his hand of grace away from it. Marriages in a fallen world are cursed from the beginning.

This explains why the battle of the sexes in a dysfunctional marriage is a never ending cycle. All earthly marriages are under the Curse of Eve, except by the grace of God. Hence why many cultures have sayings which imply that a woman or marrying a woman brings a curse to man.

Instead of acknowledging the sins of the wife, Western society justifies it as "liberation", even applauding women who divorce their husbands for 'restricting' their illegitimate "freedom". However, this is wrong, just as it is wrong for a husband to mistreat his wife.

Although wrong, the man reacts harshly towards his wife once he realises her manipulative ways, or is no longer able to tolerate it. While he is right to affirm his headship, he is wrong is respond by mistreating his wife. Hence why Eph 5:25-27 commands a man to love his wife.

What it never tells you is that the bruising of the "male ego" and attempt to assuage it is perfectly understandable, and that the woman on her part, responsible for doing so, by challenging his authority. She has done wrong on her part too, in being disrespectful towards him.

Western society simply attributes the blame to the "male ego", which is partly true. It is true that so-called "domestic violence" is owing to the inability to a man to accept that his wife has her "independence" and "power"

Eve challenges Adam's rightful authority over her, he reacts harshly, and she responds by disrespecting him, tempting him to abuse her again. She gets a kick out of doing so, using it as a manipulation tactic which is so common in wives, particularly in the West.

Thus, in doing so, she brings a curse upon herself. Her manipulation of her husband leads her into more bondage, bringing her a life full of curses, be it poverty, debt, fruitlessness, or a general lack of success in life, pain, and infertility.

The mystery lies in the Curse of Eve (Gen 3:16). Eve would have a desire to manipulate her husband, but not be able to do so without a cost to herself, in that he will react harshly. While it may work for a while and on many an occasion, he will still mistreat her.

Domestic violence is simply the manifestation of the battle of the sexes that has occurred since the breakdown of the relationship between Adam and Eve. Understanding this is the key to unlocking the mystery of domestic violence.

The campaign against "domestic violence" by feminists is nothing more than a scam, to further de-legitimise a husband's authority over his wife, by portraying those who resist women's illegitimate "freedom" as abusers.

Such "freedom" in women is actually illegitimate power a woman has in a marriage to challenge her husband. Submission to a husband's authority is what feminists regard as "domestic violence", such as rightly not allowing her to prioritise her 'career', but focus on child-rearing.

The feminist view of "domestic violence" is not only based on the idea that a woman should be "independent" of her husband, in having her own time, leisure, friends, and careers. However, this is exactly what causes so many divorces - the wife having her own so-called "freedom".

While male headship can be abused, it is not itself abusive, but rather protective. It is simply that can become abusive in a fallen world, but that it not what male headship is supposed to be as intended by God.

Feminists argue that all "domestic violence" fundamentally starts with the idea that a man views his wife as property, implying that male headship treats a woman as 'property', denigrating her and dehumanising her. This is a total misrepresentation of what male headship is.

The feminist view of "domestic violence" is explained above sees only male control of women in a relationship, particularly in marriage. This itself should wary us, because represents nothing more than a subtle challenge to male headship as Scripture prescribes (Eph 5:22-25).

They argue that "domestic violence" is about "control". This raises the question as to what amounts to "control". A further question is whether "control" by a man over a woman is necessarily wrong, whatever "control" even means.

Domestic violence is often thought of as an abuse of power, resulting from a supposed "power imbalance" between men and women in society. To support such claims, proponents of this view often cite the supposed greater prevalence of domestic violence within religious circles.

Love is not buying someone flowers, gifts, or saying yes to them all the time. It is a spirit that genuinely cares for a person and what is right.
