The Distortion of Marriage Roles

John Piper:
When sin entered the world it ruined the harmony of marriage not because it brought headship and submission into existence, but because it twisted man's humble, loving headship into hostile domination in some men and lazy indifference in others. And it twisted woman's intelligent, willing submission into manipulative obsequiousness in some women and brazen insubordination in others. Sin didn't create headship and submission; it ruined them and distorted them and made them ugly and destructive.

let us just hope more and more people will take the marriage vow knowing that respect for equality and true partnership will make it work.not placing the blame on one another based on social expactations.
