The modern proverb "happy wife, happy life" is one that we've probably all heard. It is generally used to implore husbands to seek, above all else, the happiness of their wives. The adage has ruined many marriages before they even begin. In our feminist culture, it has been weaponized against husbands to keep them docile and subservient. A husband's vision for the family is no longer the primary driving force behind decision making, but rather the ever-changing "happiness" of the wife.
I argue that for Christians the proverb should be rejected outright because it emasculates husbands by stripping them of their authority and headship, it elevates the wife as an idol by making her happiness the telos of the marriage and it eviscerates the marriage's identity as a picture of Christ's redemption of His bride. It should instead be replaced with the sure standard of the inspired, inerrant, authoritative, sufficient word of Almighty God found in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament.
