It's more like saying "I have a right to imprison my wife if she gets any funny ideas and God will preserve this marriage". Basically everyone I've ever known irl says shit like this. Cause I grew up in a southern Baptist cult.

My own mother has given me so many lectures about how men should rule the house and didn't stop until a few years ago "you have divorced two abusive husbands and the good one shares or follows you on most things," there was a bit more to the argument but that's personal.
