Indeed - and this is the purpose of our having a prayer time during our worship at home that includes all of us. My wife as mother and wife and my girls as ... girls. It is entirely appropriate, it seems to me, and no abdicating of my own authority of head. We all share together in our petitioning our common Heavenly Father, each in our own way, each appropriately to our roles.
