I hope this reply is not off-topic; Bonnie, if you feel that it is, please comment and I will start a new thread.With that said, I don't understand this statement. What about this makes a relationship beyond great? Is female superiority not reflective of the same inequality as male superiority? I would really like to understand the thinking behind this (admittedly very common) statement.My wife and I are equals (even though we hold to complementarianism and male headship; figure that one out!) My goal in our marriage is to serve her, sacrifice for her, and put her first. Her goal in our marriage is to serve me, sacrifice for me, and put me first. I would argue that that level of mutual submission, service, and sacrifice is what makes a marriage beyond great.
