I have a bit more time at the moment- let me elaborate a little.

I think the Bible is very clear that men are not more important than women. That it isn’t for all women to submit to all men. That we are all co-heirs and that God uses the whole of His body for his glory.

I also think that the Bible is very clear that the marriage relationship is a type of the Christ-Church relationship. That is was created for our good and our joy and to tell truth about our God.

I think it is unfortunate when people take something good (being a type for the Christ/church relationship) and extend past where it is meant to go. Just as many people can take a good thing (modesty) and extend it to the point of creating a law that God did not create (fill in blank with clothing rule here) then we have lost the good of the original good thing.

Now I understand that egalitarians think this is what complementarians do, and that in essence I open up a whole can of worms by disagreeing with the ardent patriarchists, but I am ok with that. 🙂
