This guy is as much a tyrant as the creeps in Washington. Just on a micro scale. And honestly the threats like that don’t even work unless the husband makes 2+ times the median income. Hard and fast rules like this are ridiculous. Anyway, almost all the current strife between the sexes is driven by economic factors. But that’s a whole other topic. And to those men who do have significant economic power over their wives (rarer these days) thus says the Lord: ‘Because the Lord has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, whom you have forsaken; yet she is your companion and the wife of your covenant. But did He not make another, having a remnant of His Spirit? Yet you ask, “What else does God seek but offspring?” But take heed to your spirit, and do not forsake the wife of your youth. “But if you hate her and send her away,” says the Lord God of Israel, “ungodliness will obscure your thinking,” says the Lord Almighty. “So take heed to your spirit, that you do not forsake her.”’ (Malachi 2:14-16, OSB) Those advising abandoning wives and children just to look “masculine” are not serving God.
