The fact that there are different interpretations on all kinds of matters in the Bible begs the question: what is the main thing, then? The Apostle Paul tells us what the main thing is: Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and Him crucified, resurrected, and returning. Faith in Christ draws us into the law of Christ: loving God and loving others, as ourselves.

The bottom line is that Paul is not restricting women from talking in church services, nor is he restricting women from teaching men. Paul is concerned about fostering peace between husbands and wives for the sake of their marriage and for the sake of Christian witness.
