Been there. Simple response. 1 Timothy 2:11-12. Could any counter in response be acceptable? Clearly, no. No counter is acceptable. That passage just won't go away.

11 A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.

Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

The scriptural arguments I hear (from my wife no less) against Eph 5:24 meaning what it says are:

Phil 2:12 ...work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. [wife: "Let me work it out myself"]

...and...

Col 3:18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. ["'fit in the Lord' means that the wife only has to do those things that follow the bible, not necessarily everything the husband says."].

Instruction welcome... thank you
