If you are Christian, do you believe it is your "godly" wife duty to never say no to your spouse?

Creepy and culty.

I’m the complementarian. You do know evangelicals are Protestant, right? Anyway, yes, there are *some* evangelicals who believe this, but it’s fringe.

And the woman who wrote that is CJ Mahaney’s wife. He’s been embroiled in an awful sexual abuse scandal (victim blaming, not reporting rape, etc.). Some example of health sexual relationships…

All religions (coincidentally, all created by men) say something similar, so men don't have to choose! They get to subjugate women while belonging to any religion they want!

All Evangelicals may be Protestant, but not all Protestants are Evangelical.

Yep. But after years of books like this, preaching like this and people believing it is a duty.

Christians and non-Christians a like think it's a duty.
