MIA (II): Thanks for the clarification. I read it very quickly.
Popa: I had read your opening post too quickly as well. I think your right, she should/has to respect her husband reguardless of what he is not doing in his personal relationship with Hashem.
Every man, no matter how great, has some shortcommings. Excuse the comparison, but even Moshe Rabbeinu’s wife could have a “tayne”. Hey, MR is not going into EY since he was punished…. But Moshe was a malach! Or greater than a malachaj It’s a wifes job to respect her husband, period!
(Not talking when he truly trult mistreats her)
