One of the key differences between an egalitarian and a patriarchal marriage is in the area of authority and will. In a patriarchal marriage, the man is set up as the final decision maker of the home and he is given the right to make a decision for his wife even if it overrules her will

This is part two of the response to an article by Matt Slick of CARM called “Genesis 2, Adam and Eve, and Authority” found here

## Do Some Complementarians deny women opportunities

## Are Men Restricted

## John Piper: “What should a wife’s submission to her husband look like if he’s an abuser. ”
