In 2008, ex-Chelsea footballer Gavin Peacock quit his job with the BBC. He had what he described as a "calling", moving to Canada to become a Pastor in Calgary.
This morning Peacock used Twitter to do a little bit of preaching.
The subject - marriage.
His views - archaic.
Husbands: one of your primary duties in loving your wife is to feed her with the Word of God daily.

Wives: one of the primary ways you are to respect your husband is by gladly submitting to and encouraging his leadership.

God's divine design for marriage in male headship and female submission is complementary not competitive.

His views were met with derision on Twitter.

I used to really enjoy working with Gavin Peacock on the radio but won't be implementing his views on marriage at home...

Looks like Gavin Peacock has been turning water into wine, then drinking the lot.
