Ya know, it just occured to me, that if Pat Robertson did a little pot, he'd be a lot better off. Maybe all these right-wing "Christ"ian nutcases should do a little E and they'd be better.

"How did the reviewer overreact to it? I didn't think he was harsh enough."
Well, considering that no one ever said anything about "barefoot in the kitchen and pregnant", yes, he did overreact. All the Bible effectively says on the subject (NT, anyway) is that the husband has the final say. Nothing more, nothing less.

...and I don't necessarily share that opinion. In fact, I think it's shit. And shit like that, my friend, is what keeps me away from religion.
Of course, that's just my opinion.

And it is. It's also a misapplication of the bible, that those Christian bastards like to do. They too a perfectly good piece of work, mangled it, and now it's thought of as shit. But I don't care anymore (see the "I'm not an athiest" posts a while back) so I won't get involved.
Yeah! Beat that woman!

Omega: But what if the husband turns out to be a complete ass?
Have you, by any chance, read "Angela's Ashes?" the husband in that was a drunk, and spend his family's money on drink, thereby contributing to the deaths of several of his children.
Should a wife follow the decisions of a man like that?

That's where "husbands, love your wives" comes into play.
I'd say leave him. Christ said that the only grounds for divorce were marital unfaithfulness. Assuming that that's an accurate translation from the Greek, I would interpret that to mean breaking ANY of the vows made, and a man acting like that would probably break at least ONE vow, no matter what they may be. 'Course, that's all based on one possible meaning of an unknown Greek word.
Under any circumstances, a woman shouldn't marry a man like that in the first place.
