The question is not whether we need leaders, of course we do. The question is WHY we need leaders. And the answer is simple enough: we need leaders because humans cannot co-operate because of sin. Marriage was instituted prior to sin, contrary to civil governments which were instituted after sin, and the reason it is believed a leader is needed in marriage is the existence of disagreements and the likelihood of an impasse which the husband’s authority is said to solve. For this to hold true, either the husband’s authority was instituted after sin or Adam and Eve could not live in peace with each other in the garden and Adam’s authority over Eve was given to restore peace. Any comments NN and Mark?
