Very similar to Reforming Marriage so far. Here he is more explicit about covenant headship. He equates the husband to a "public person" like Jesus or Adam. Two of his supporting verses for this are Proverbs 2:17 and Malachi 2:13-16.

Brenden Wentworth What’s your take on the idea that husbands represent their wives before God in a federal headship manner? I’ve heard many reformed say that out loud or on paper and the common analogy is Adam with Eve in God’s rebuke, but I sometimes wonder if that’s a bad exegetical correspondence or not and if that’s not point of that situation


Hayden Mills I'm quite concerned about that kind of view, personally. The Analogy of christ and the church can only be taken so far, and making the husband a federal head as Adam or Christ seems to miss the point.
