Was/Is Mother Always Wrong? (by Lloyd Eby)

There is a video on YouTube of Timothy Elder testifying that, away from the public and the cameras, Mother and Father often disagreed, with Mother trying to influence Father in some direction and Father rejecting whatever Mother said or suggested or tried to do. Apparently these disagreements were at least sometimes heated. (Many if not all of the examples in Timothy’s video have to do with Father continuing to speak (to a public audience) and Mother trying to get him to end for some reason, but Father refusing to do so.)
Let’s accept that Timothy’s testimony is true, that there were disagreements – sometimes heated – between Mother and Father.
My question is whether, when such disagreement(s) occurred, Mother was always wrong. As far as I can ascertain, it is the position of SC and its members that, when such disagreements occurred (and occur today), Mother was/is always wrong.
Why should that view – that Mother was/is always wrong when/if she disagrees with Father – be accepted? Shouldn’t it be the case that in a relationship between spouses, neither side is always right or always wrong, that there should usually be a mutual give-and-take between spouses so that they come to a conclusion in which the view and interest of each of the spouses is preserved?
