I don’t disagree with your comments.
I asked SoG a question because of his comment. I would like to know where he’s coming from.

To reply, let me copy what I wrote in my post from two days ago, because no one commented and it perhaps explains where I'm "coming from':

He has an administrative order (i.e., economy) to things, in order that His household might thrive, and so everyone gets what they need in an atmosphere of love. This household order is the Lord, then the husband/father, then the wife/mother, then the children. Again, this order is set by Him so that everyone in the household gets supplied with what they need, in an administration of love, caring (and yes, accountability).
So we can "kick against the goads" of this, but we will likely get hurt in the process! I'd be very interested to get the take of others - AND ESPECIALLY SISTERS!

So I think we all have a covering according to God's plan, according to our need. The man/husband needs to be headed-up and have a covering, and this is the Lord; Woman/wife needs to be headed-up and have a covering, and this is the man/husband; children needs to be headed-up and have a covering, and this is their parents.
This wise administration is according to supplying their need and provide for their protection. Why? Because there is weakness. Man isn't able to do this alone and needs the Lord. Woman can't do this alone and needs the man. Children (this is the most obvious) need protection big time, and have both parents (ideally). This is the loving arrangement in God's household . . . for a good reason - for the proper care of everyone and to cover their weaknesses.
