The wives aboard Noah's Ark were part of the family that survived the Deluge in the biblical Genesis flood narrative from the Bible.

Biblical patriarchy is similar to complementarianism, and many of their differences are only ones of degree and emphasis. [10] While complementarianism holds to exclusively male leadership in the church and in the home, biblical patriarchy extends that exclusion to the civic sphere as well, so that women should not be civil leaders [11] and indeed should not have careers outside the home.
