Yes, Kay.
And it is our culture, not God, that demands someone be the leader in a marriage. It is our culture that looks at two people, not a group, just two people, and determines… one MUST be the leader and the other the follower, there can be no partnership.
God creates partnerships, fellowships. The world creates hiearchies.

It is a childish game ‘king of the hill’ forcing its way into marriage from our culture. It is man’s way, the way of tradition and the fallen sin-nature of the flesh. Not God’s way.

No matter how many scriptures taken out of context and twisted and read into, you cannot support male rulership as “God’s best”.
It exists because of sin, not because of God’s design.
