nomoreusernamesleft View Profile History	Having Legal Guardianship Over A Wife Posted : 7 Nov, 2025 05:39 AM Hello brethren, This is something I've pondered, having recognized that the godless culture and society is stacked against men as being the head of the wife. God does not command men to force a woman into submission to his authority, the same way Jesus does not force his Bride to obey him. It must be a wilful decision to do what he commands us to do and we should be joyful to do so! As also should a wife be to her husband. I would suggest that if a virtuous woman of God truly wanted to be married to a man of God, then she should enter into a legal covenant with him, giving him legal guardianship over her decisions, so that he can rule his house biblically without her interference. That is NOT to say without her input. A wise man will seek to please his wife and not to be a tyrannical lord, but to be a loving lord caring for the things of this world how he may please his wife. My thoughts toward legal guardianship are to be a means by which a genuinely submissive women would yield her power to her husband the way that the husbands have always had power over their wives until western society ruined the family structure. There are still some countries today where women are not allowed to make decisions like having their tubes tied without the verified consent of her husband, father, brother or uncle. I think that's a great thing. 🙂 Post Reply
nomoreusernamesleft View Profile History	Having Legal Guardianship Over A Wife Posted : 7 Nov, 2025 07:58 AM I'm actually being serious about this suggestion to require a prospective wife to willingly sign over legal guardianship to a prospective husband. After witnessing hundreds of families destroyed by the women's liberation movement, feminism and the legal system which has evolved to put the man under the woman with the full force of the government, legal guardianship seems to be one plausible solution to hold a family together. I'm open to hear other suggestions for plausible solutions from men of God. It should be obvious that in holding any resemblance of a traditional, biblical family worldview, I repel more than 90% of women here, which claim to "fear God," love God," "put God first" and "follow Jesus." I'm okay with that. Peace should never be compromised for companionship. I have much more to share along these sorts of topics. I hope to solicit open discourse without attacking people, just giving sound doctrine and seriously hoping to find a woman that genuinely wants to embrace her design and be an actual helper that is suitable for a man. "Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife." "It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house." "It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman." "A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself." Post Reply

The problem with that is the daughter/potential wife will proclaim there's no need for a contract because she can be trusted to stand by her word 100%. Except we all know how useless their words are after seeing how most of them ignored their marriage vows which was a sworn contract made before God. Post Reply

nomoreusernamesleft View Profile History	Having Legal Guardianship Over A Wife Posted : 7 Nov, 2025 11:43 AM The problem with giving the fathers actual headship of the children goes into the legal system, once again. The state claims ownership of all children that have a certificate of live birth and we see them exercise that when they kidnap children because the parent uses corporal punishment as well as a wide variety of subjective things that the state deems to be abusive or neglectful and to top it off, the state will give the wife the authority over the man's children! Women are in denial that they were made to bear the seed of man and that the children belong to the man. Think about when God called Abe to offer up Issac... can you imagine the prison time he would face in western culture for attempted manslaughter or child endangerment, abuse, etc? Or if the decision of what to do with Isaac was left to Sarah? But Sarah called her husband lord because he was her lord. I met a woman that claimed the faith of Jesus Christ but said "I'll never call any man lord." 🤦‍♂️ I'm like "which Bible are you reading, the Satanic Bible?" Post Reply
Handyman62 View Profile History	Having Legal Guardianship Over A Wife Posted : 7 Nov, 2025 12:26 PM Do you think it would be any easier to have women sign a contract that in the end wouldn't be allowed to be enforced? I can imagine Lawyers, feminist and demoncrats getting involved when women start complaining when they are expected to obey their husbands because of a contract they will claim was signed under duress.

nomoreusernamesleft View Profile History	Having Legal Guardianship Over A Wife Posted : 7 Nov, 2025 12:51 PM I think that as long as a skilful attorney were to set up the agreement and that it were signed by a judge, it would have more weight than the presumed authority that axfather has over his own children in the legal system. But here's the thing, if she wants to depart, let her depart. It's not to hold her against her will; its to have power to make the decisions of the home without contention and also to prevent her from having any legal entitlement to the man's estate. I'm throwing an idea out there. I don't know if it's ever been done, but I do know that the state forces us to forfeit our constitutional "rights" if we want to drive, hunt, fish, trap, captain a watercraft, use electronic devices ("through the third party doctrine") and other things, so if we're able to give up those basic "rights" under duress then why wouldn't it be valid if a woman signed over the authority of herself to her husband, willfully and not under duress? I don't know. I'm just trying to think of a way that a woman can tangibly show her faith in God and loyalty to her head. Post Reply
