Yeah, but I never heard much of that. I heard a lot about women submitting and how women were not normally submissive. That it was a woman's nature to usurp authority and she needed to work hard spiritually to not be that way. There was little teaching about how a husband should be tender and loving.
Lots of teaching about how people would go their own way and needed the pastors help. Little about how he should serve the church in love.
Now I will step out on a limb and say I think that is an organization wide problem with a few pastors having it right but most heavy-handed on the submission stuff.
