A) Nick says that wives are the "helpmates" and "subordinates" to men. This is an incorrect, very shallow, very boomer-tier understanding of biblical marriage and is another piece of evidence to add to the pile whenever someone tries to tell you that Nick is a Christian who knows his theology. Husbands are commanded to submit to their wives as well. Wives are not little servants. The original Hebrew words for women's partnership in the Bible are ezer and k'negdo (Genesis 2:18 ) to describe the first woman (Eve). Ezer means "strength" or "savior," not "subordinate helper." K'negdo means "as his counterpart" or "equal."
B) Tucker, a boomer-tier evangelical, nods and agrees and say that men care about their wives' happiness more than vice versa. Now I'm not saying there aren't exceptions out there but anyone who has spent time around married couples who aren't fresh-out-the-church newlyweds knows that this is absolutely not the case. I mean how often do you hear about a wife feeling unappreciated/unheard/put-upon/etc. and the husband has absolutely no clue? How often have you heard husbands complain that their wife is being a nag or hysterical? Women have culturally been expected to sacrifice and compromise for their husbands for thousands of years and although it's changed a bit in the past few decades in America, the pendulum has not swung the other way.
A and B combined dropped my IQ by a couple points. The two absolutely deserve each other.
