“I wore the leader badge but have never had to use it. So in this aspect, I am not sure if our marriage would practically change at all if we became egal. I am just seeking to know the truth. The question does the authority really exist if it is never exercised is a good one.”

So, maybe the answer is really self-evident. A comp male truly living out Eph.5 will never need to use an “authority badge.” …perhaps “male authority” is like the emperor’s clothes – “it” really isn’t there…
