However, I am not sure if one very important verse is used to advantage. 1 Tim. 5:14, says, in the most literal translation possible,
"I am minded, therefore, that the younger ones marry, bear children, be head of the house, - giving no single occasion, unto the opposer, as a cause of reviling;" (adapted from Rotherham)Here is the inverse Danvers Statement, and here is the original Danvers Statement.

Among the elite of complementarian authorities, listed under "Board of Reference" of the Danvers Statement, none other than John MacArthur himself acknowledges the wife as ruler of the household:
QUOTE John MacArthur:
That is part of the "oikodespotes" (Greek) when it says in 1 Timothy 5:14, "that the woman is to be the ruler of the house," or in Titus, chapter two, that she is to be "the ruler of the house." Source: http://www.ondoctrine.com/2mac0109.htm
I don't agree with everything JM preaches, but he nailed that point!
:)
That inverse DS is brilliant!
