“If ‘headship’ means ‘power’ in any sense, then it is power to care not to crush,
Power to serve not to dominate, Power to facilitate self-fulfillment not to frustrate or destroy it.
And in all this the standard of the husband’s love for his wife is to be the cross
of Christ, on which he surrendered himself even to death in his selfless love for his bride.”
—John Stott
