Answer:

She asks Jesus to send meek husbands and prays that he will cut short the lives of men who refuse to be governed by their wives.

Step-by-step explanation:

Towards the end of the tale, the Wife of Bath asks Jesus to send meek husbands who can be controlled by their wives. This is in reference to the story that the Wife of Bath tells. In this story, she claims that women's greatest wish is to have sovereignty over their husbands. When the knight in the story follows this, and respects her wife's opinion, his life and his wife become wonderful. Therefore, the Wife of Bath thinks this is an ideal arrangement and prays to Jesus to only send men who can live under those terms.
