At all ages and conditions there are differences in the way that obedience is carried out. An older child or adult, for example, can be sent out on a mission; perhaps for days or even years, with, as it were, ambassadorial ability.
We see this in Psalm 127 where sons are called ‘arrows’. This image indicates something that is sent out, with a direction and goal, to do the will of the one that sent them.
Women who are married are clearly under the authority of their husband and their father in law, not so much as their own father.
