Scott,

Two questions for you...

1) are you a Promise Keeper?

2) if so then are you admitting that the Promise Keepers are telling their
wives that they are taking about their leadership in the household?

If so then this is telling women that they must follow their husbands and
do what they are told.  And then marriages wouldn't be that two-way road
anymore.
