Mutual Submission: A Response to CBMW's "Soap Bubbles Submission"
By: Sarah Lindsay | April 27, 2016
A recent blog post on the Council for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood's website titled, "Soap Bubbles Submission," caught my attention for a number of reasons. I want to respond to the author's understanding of submission as expressed in the article.
Living Post-Fall: Partners, Not Competitors
By: Sarah Ago | April 15, 2016
Our kingdom vision reminds us that we need to hold tightly to Christ’s redemptive work on the cross. No longer are we bound by the Fall or called to perpetuate the effects of it! We are called to live in a redemptive reality, which is counter to worldly division.
Preparing for the Hardest Year
By: Naomi Krueger | April 11, 2016
A few weeks ago, I co-hosted a wedding shower for my brother and his fiancée. They’re getting married in May. I’m so excited for them and so happy they have decided to partner with each other for life. For the shower, I shared a reflection about marriage and I thought I’d [...]
When An Egalitarian Husband and Wife Disagree
By: Sarahbeth Caplin | April 6, 2016
And that right there was the beginning of a debate I never expected to have. Christians—particularly Christian women—are often told to be submissive to their spouses as a sign of reverence and respect.

By: Sarah Ago | March 29, 2016

Work would be fulfilling for all of us and we would not be struggling with the never-ending, unattainable quest for [...]

Who would think we would find important truths about marriage from the ancient agricultural implements found along the highways and byways of South India?
Love and Respect: A Better Way
By: Tim Krueger | March 5, 2016
The story that “women need love and men need respect” is simple and appealing, but is one with a dirty little secret (okay, maybe it’s not that much of a secret): it places all the power in a relationship squarely in the hands of men.
Obedience Is Situational
By: Erin Ortega | January 27, 2016
It occurred to me as I was reading Philemon recently that Paul actually uses the word, hypakoe or hypakouo, translated as "obey" when he asks Philemon to comply with his request to free the slave, Onesimus. This is significant because many Christians believe that wives are called to obey their husbands. Though some complementarians [...]
The Consequences of Complementarianism for Men
By: Kristen Rosser | January 26, 2016
This is a hypothetical conversation between an imaginary complementarian husband and wife. It’s not meant to depict how all complementarian couples relate to each other. I am presenting a possible marital conflict and proposing how the couple might have dealt with the issue.
How I Submit to My Wife: Why a Feminist with a Hairy Chest Chose to Take His Beloved’s Last Name
By: Nicholas Quient | December 5, 2015
I saw mutual submission as required for marriage, and I believe that it was the strongest measure of what I could do: I give of myself to her, and I honor her, by esteeming her heritage, her culture, her family, by taking her last name.
