Wilson is not the law of the land. He is not in a position to enforce his religious symbolism literally on the country. Only people that wish to follow his words do, not by force.
There seems to be a deep sense of confusion amongst some liberals between religious symbolism and an actual judge and government forcing an 8 year old girl to marry a 40-something year old man.
As a Christian, I believe, and my religious leaders will tell me, to honor my Mother and Father, and I willfully try to do so. However, they are not advocating that it be law that I do whatever my parents tell me to do as an adult.
I don't know Wilson theology, but I am sure he is against 8 year old girls being forced to marry and do whatever a 40 year old man tells her to do. I am sure he is also against the buying and selling of people as property. But even if he wasn't, who cares, he isn't in a position, or seeking a position, to enforce it. I am concerned with those that are being forced right now, and an ancient system of governing that is operates serious injustices against people, especially women and children.
Best Regards,
Donovan

Wilson 101 -- Wrongly Interpreting Ephesians 5 (Nancy), which I blogged on recently.
Wilson's teaching that women don't have to submit to all men, just their husbands, is wielded to sound just a little bit better than "all women submit, always, to all men." But it is no less wrong, and often gives a husband the OK to overrule another male -- say, an OB/GYN -- in the name of "husband's headship over wife."
Bottom line -- every Christian is taught by Scripture to submit to all, to one another, to one's neighbor, etc., in mutuality and confidence, not in hierarchy and compulsion.
