About your opening statement: I ...You are so right. About your opening statement: I find that kind of frustration an obvious result of complementarianism. <br /><br />I once had to act a minor stage role (before a crowd of about 100 peers) in which I had to respond to the actions and words of another amateur actor. The other actor forgot the part where he had to interact with me. He never turned to me or said what he should have said to me. My part was minor and it did not ruin the entire piece. But I stood around on stage like an idiot, doing nothing like I had no reason to be there, and having no excuse for an exit from the stage.<br /><br />Complementarian doctrine say that wives are to play the church and husbands to play Jesus. That leaves a church-playing actress whose husband do not act like Jesus in the same position I was in on that stage. The church is a responder to the One who loved first, the One who love so completely that it transforms the entire person, the One whose decisions are always wise and always loving. Should she act like her husband does all that when he does not?<br /><br />As for husbands, acting like Jesus is a tall order, but at least he don't have to wait for someone else's actions to play that role.<br /> <br />You are so right we should learn to appreciate people for their real gifts, regardless of how feminine/masculine we regard those gifts. When we respond to real people instead of to prescibed roles, we won't stand around on life's stage with no words to say.
