“A dominating partner can’t empty him or herself, nor can the one being dominated, since they are both striving after what they want, forgetting that what they want as individuals needs to take a backseat to strengthening the relationship, and a significant backseat to glorifying God.”
Allison,
Good point!
How can they so misrepresent the beauty of the mutual love of “one-flesh” marriage relationships (like mine) turning them into a lord/servant relationship? Thereby actually creating power struggles instead of fostering loving cooperation.

It’s no wonder Christian book stores, seminars and Bible study guides for hierarchist marriages are rampant – they’ve created a problem and there is no end to solving it!
