A Most Twisted Love
By: Vyckie Garrison | March 5, 2012
There is no love in patriarchy. There is no respect. There is only perpetual immaturity, dependency, and frustration for the man who is subjected to the most sophisticated manipulation as his wife gives over control and authority to him.
Book Review: Mark and Grace Driscoll's Real Marriage
By: Tim Krueger | March 5, 2012
It's ironic that even the Driscolls have learned through experience that the more egalitarian they are, the better their relationship. But, like many Christian writers on marriage, they haven't yet taken the step of fully embracing what Scripture, prayer, and experience confirm as true.
Home Schooled: (Re-)Learning Mutual Submission
By: Michael Jordan | June 5, 2011

One Flesh, One Purpose, One Rank
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | June 5, 2011

Full of Grace, Seasoned with Salt
By: Megan Greulich | September 5, 2010
Fostering Relationships and Dialogue with Complementarian Friends: "My friend confided in me because she was 'tired — no, exhausted — of being single.'”
My Marriage Bond: From Stratified to Unified
By: Yvette Menking | September 5, 2010
The well-known words in Ecclesiastes —“a cord of three strands is not quickly broken” (Eccles. 4:12b) — are often used to create a visual icon in our minds of the marriage bond.
Book Review: Love & War: Finding Your Way to Something Beautiful in Your Marriage
By: CBE International | June 5, 2010
In Love & War, the Eldredges attribute the "absurdity of marriage" to innate gender discrepancies. Men and women are so fundamentally different, they assert, that it is no wonder that few can make it work.
An Intellectual and Spiritual Communion
By: Bethany Nelson | March 5, 2010
If you’re looking for a beautiful model of an egalitarian relationship in the midst of a decidedly non-egalitarian culture, the love story of Angelina Emily Grimké (1805–1879) and Theodore Dwight Weld (1803–1895) is especially inspiring.
