Question for the wise

It probably means "I will not submit to you", which is the opposite of ‭Ephesians 5:22-24

[22] Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. [23] For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. [24] Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

However without more context this is simply a guess.

With modern women, the more they dominate and control, the more they insist they are being dominated and controlled. I remember once as a kid, i was watching TV with my dad. I was sitting on the couch and he was in an armchair next to me. My mom walked in; To my dad (pretty rudely): "Move. I wanna sit there." Dad: "No" Mom: looks at me in disbelief "He's so bossy." looks back at Dad "I can't believe you talk to me like that."

They project.

"Then he said to the woman, “I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy, and in pain you will give birth. And you will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you." (Genesis 3:16 NLT)

Part of the curse resulting from sin is that women have the innate drive to control their husbands but they will be ruled by their husbands.

Feminists can't stand this. The feminists in the church can't stand it. The male feminists deny it or explain it away.

But it is in the Book.

I am a woman. Based on what you shared, she could be feeling like you aren’t hearing her true feelings / being too defensive. As a result, this makes her feel like she has to defend herself FROM you. IMO a part of being a good husband is providing an emotionally safe space for your wife. Us women are the more emotional sex and having a man be our rock when we feel out of control is the most attractive thing ever. She won’t say this during an argument but it’s true.

She means: You are not a high enough value man who I want to submit to. I'm wary of your leadership and don't want or trust it.

Now obviously it's just where you are now and you could work on improving that.
