Cheryl – “It seems to me that men who are able to think and reason and actually feel for their wives should be able to get that this is not a good thing. And many must be able to get it because a good majority of marriages, even comp ones, are actually lived out as egalitarian.”

And the reason this is what is observed is very simple. A truly complimentarian marriage is a practical impossibility. Most (although not all) men realize very early on that they are neither qualified nor have the time, patience, or even vested interest to make all the decisions in the marriage. They also find out quickly that, at least in the culture as it exists, being a 100% breadwinner is nigh impossible.

The greatest argument against complimentarianism is that it is woefully impractical. If it is God’s design, then God set us up to fail.
