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.

I am so amazed at this mindset. I don’t understand how one can take the symbiotic nature of the body and replace it with a leader and follower metaphor. How many body parts are supposed to be the bosses and how many body parts are the followers? It seems to me to be clearly changing metaphors and it just doesn’t fit.
