The feminist movement was very important in the past and helped women move closer to making the same pay for the same work. And in the distant past, they helped to get us the right to vote. I'm not an attorney, but with my limited knowledge of law, I'd say on the whole, we are very protected against discrimination based on gender. The people who discriminate against women are breaking the law and we have the right to sue them. I think the information revolution has reduced the need for many groups. I am open to other ideas and look forward to hearing your comments on this topic.

As for the Biblical marriage, I don't want to go into the theology of it, I don't have time to write a book. I was listening to Dr. James Dodson on the radio and he said it best. He said he and his wife have that type of marriage, one in which the husband should love the wife as Christ loved the Church and the wife should submit. He said that in 40 years of marriage his wife made all the decisions regarding their family. Only twice did he have to say I'm sorry, but we can't do whatever. I've been married twice and a few serious relationships and I have never been loved as much as Christ loved the Church. If you look at Ephesians 5:22-33, and really study it, IMO it seems as if the wife gets the better deal. But let's get real, it takes 2 very emotionally healthy and Godly people to make a Biblical marriage work.
