    Olivencia,

    We can go round and round on who's right and who isn't all week if we like. Instead, let's boil this down to its essence, so to speak.

    Your position:

    1. Your wife must submit to you as head of the home.
    2. Your wife must call you master.
    3. She doesn't have to call you master all the time, but she must have done it at least once or twice.
    4. All wives who don't call their husbands master are disobeying God.

    Does that sum up your position?

    Now, here's my position.

    1. My wife must submit to me as head of the home.
    2. She doesn't have to call me master and, in fact, I would prefer that she never call me master.

    Here's the key question.

    If your wife submits to your leadership, but doesn't call you master, is she disobeying God?
