“The operation of eros within the marital relationship leads to an natural and God-made asymmetry of the relationship…”

Where did you come up with this? This is what I, and I think Sue, are wondering? In my previous comment here (189) I quoted you saying on another thread that based on 1 Cor 7 there is an equality concerning the authority a husband and wife have towards each other’s body, but in this statement from your article under discussion you say that “eros” leads to a “natural and God-made asymmetry”?

I am a newcomer to this debate. I have been doing a lot of online reading the last two years. I have yet to hear from a complementarian that “eros” love is the basis for a “natural and God-made asymmetry” between a husband and wife.
