The Man Is the Priest of the Home?
I'm curious about this...my [relative] relayed to me that he feels a man is the priest of the home, to the point of standing between a woman and her relationship with God. (As a mediator? Or just in the "line" of authority? I'm not sure which way he meant it)
My question is: I've heard this before, but is there a particular scripture that supports this line of thought in any way, even out of context? I certainly couldn't find any exact quotes.
