This is an ideal. In the real world a wife has every authority to enforce a husband's vow by visiting consequences upon the husband who violates it. Paging Lorena Bobbit. ;) Understand that to me authority is not an entitlement, it is the...

Right, I would make a distinction between ability and authority; we could even say power and authority. The husband has the authority but the wife has the ability to contravert that authority. We could debate what the results of controverting...
