CONCLUSION
I believe that the last 1700 years of teaching on the marriage has been based on the Genesis 3 curses instead of God's original plan in Genesis 1 and 2. This false teaching has produced a 'works-centered' formula based on hierarchy in the marriage. It works with marriages who have the correct personalities (i.e., husband is "choleric" personality - natural leader and the wife is "phlegmatic" personality - natural follower). But those marriages where the wife is gifted as a leader and the husband is a natural follower are doomed for failure and condemnation in this false teaching. They spend years on the treadmill, reading all the "right" books and never achieving their goal of hierarchy in their marriages. Understanding that the husband/wife are one, living in mutual submission, and practicing headship as servanthood - all in the context of the 'koinonia cross' - is a revelation that needs to be proclaimed to the Body of Christ.
