You can Google it, but I don't recall any such verse. I would say no, that no one has read such a verse. I can think of two verses that sound similar but are unrelated to the spiritual gifts. (BTW, why are you asking this in a Patriarchy thread...? )

That is only half of the basic question. The other half is "How does He intend for us to get there...?" Paul wrote, "Wives, do this..." and "Husbands, do this..." Not being a wife, I hear, "Husbands, do this..." You seem to be hearing, "Husbands, do [this] and make sure your wife does...

If you are doing it right, you are doing so out of love & trust for Him (that you have grown into). Even without the threat of Hell, I know that God's ways are superior to mine. My only fear, right now, is if I choose my wisdom over His, it will likely cost me money or, at least, peace &...

Are you making my point for me, that the speaker being a woman does not disqualify her from speaking...?

Therein lies the problem. You deny your wife's agency when it is not your place to do so. Women will be blessed if/when they do things God's way --just like we men will be blessed, if/when we do things God's way-- but that blessing can only occur when we surrender to His will, not by doing so...

That issue just depends on who is better at handling money. It could be either one. Or both. Worst case, neither.

Womanly verses "Women/wives, do this..." are written to women (who, BTW, are not children). They do not say, "Men, get your women to do this..." Men are not graced to process those things on behalf of their women. We cannot replace the Holy Spirit for our wives (and, trust me, we really do not...

Why do we assume that, while they were prophesying? I would agree that the gift of prophecy does not confer full-time authority, but the gift by definition, imposes momentary authority.

Prophecy = authority, at least at the moment.

If you would neglect "...Your sons and daughters will prophesy,..." [Acts of the Apostles 2:17] that Paul's friend, Priscilla, taught Apollos [Acts of the Apostles 18:26], and certainly more...

(Apparently, Mike didn't know what circumcision was...)

True, but neither one can replace the Holy Spirit for the other, either, for receiving Scripture, generally, nor for receiving gender-specific Scripture, particularly.

If a person is viewing gender-specific Scripture for themselves, it is complementarianism. If they are viewing it with the goal of straightening out their spouse, it is Patriarchy/Matriarchy (even if they call it complementarianism).

(It gives "unitarian" a whole new meaning... )

(Because it shows most of his [privates]...)

As a Christian, I am not interested in fixing (secular) feminism. (All worldly coalitions have the same types of errors.) I want to be faithful to the Holy Spirit and, as He leads me, my Bible. That is completely independent of any secular feminist agenda. Even if my wife did not feel the same...

The problem with terms like "complementarianism" is that it has, at least, two common meanings, Biblical (or Pauline) complementarianism is when we seek to be faithful to gender-specific Scripture that applies to ourselves. Complementarianism is also used as a euphemism for Patriarchy [&...
