Again, I will throw this at you: what if you swap "husband" for "wife" in the above? Is that also acceptable? If not, you are relegating the wife to being a second-class citizen in marriage.

In the last paragraph, but just in the last, I would concede that you can swap the gender roles vice-versa and the same should hold true.
It' neither reasonable for the husband to subject to the wive's decision without reason or explanation, nor is it reasonable for the wife.
Actually, even there's some Bible verses floating around on the subject, about "women should ask their husbands at home", well if that doesn't imply that the husband should explain, then I dunno.

Thing is, according to the way the Bible puts it, there is higher burden placed on the husband than on the wife, so nobody is saying anything like "2nd class citizen", that's just what some chauvinists would have us believe women are.

In Christ,
Mike K.
