I notice a commen theme in those who opposes our viewpoint. They say ONLY married people can “Reflect” Christ in the Home and Chruch ( a brick building made with human hands). ALL believers can Reflect Christ weather Single or Married no matter where they may be at, Home,School,Work,Driving,Walking etc! ALL believers are part of the “Church” and part of the “Bride” Men Too and ALL are “Sons Of God” women too!

Gerald saids on his blog:

Second, in my mind, the complimentarian logic is grounded much more solidly in the Christ/Church relationship, than in the God/Christ relationship. Ephesians 5:21-33 pretty clearly draws a parallel between the husband/wife relationship and Christ/Church relationship. Paul’s whole logic of how the husband and wife should treat the other is clearly patterned after the way that Christ and the Church relate to each other. Whatever one might conclude about the economic equality of God and Christ, there is certainly some measure of economic inequality between Christ and the Church.

The reason why the complementarian logic applies most immediately in the home and in the church (besides the fact that we think Scripture teaches it) is because both of these communities more closely reflect the final escatological community. The mandate of love and respect within the husband/wife relationship need not be extended to all male/female relationship because not all male/female relationship reflect the relationship between Christ and his Church.Gerald also saids:As to your second paragraph, I think I would want to make a distinction between “functioning under men” and “functioning without men.” I’m not aware that all (most?) complementarians insist that women cannot function without being under a man. The main thrust of most complementarian thought is that in the home and the church, the relationship between men and women should in some measure reflect the relationship between God and Christ, and Christ and the Church.

But this is not to say that women (or men, for that matter) have no individual worth apart from how they, together in union, image forth these higher relationships. Both men and women exist in the image of God as individuals, and thus have value and dignity beyond the ways in which they relate to each other. Or to say it another way, single men and women exist in the image of God just as much as married men and women, even if in different ways.
Gerald also saids: But in most cultures throughout history, the egalitarian mindset just wasn’t possible–even if both men and women had wanted it. Too much in life required physical strength (war, hunting, building, etc.), thus putting the woman in a place of deference before the man.

My comments on all this: 
All cultures/The Nations (Except Israel) are of mans doing! You can’t make sinners do the right thing, they can’t, let alone a whole Pagan sinful Nation/Nations! War and Hunting is of the Fall/Sin/Post flood conditions etc! Only those who Repent and get a New Heart and Spirit From Christ/God can change! Eze. 11:14 and 18:31

Also they can use all the “smooth saying” “Many Words” etc. How a womans submition (Subordination) is of her free will and The Husband Leads in a Loving way (Hierarchy)! It’s all boils down to a Sinful false view called Heirarchy!

Paul talked about in Gal. “Don’t Return/go back to bondaged!” The Heirarchist view of women is no different that much then how Islam treats there women!
