When does the Bible say we should evangelize the world by showing our marriages as examples? Jesus said, “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another,” (John 13:35) but this statement is not specific either to gender or to marriage roles. Jesus didn't say the world would know we are his disciples if our marriages portray correct role relationships. That is an extension which the complementarian leaders have added, a subtle assertion they have slipped in. They have built a heavy edifice of oughts and shoulds on this subtle twist, and thus laid burdens on victims of marital abuse which they themselves would never be able to bear. They have also laid a heavy evangelistic burden onto the cart of marriage, a payload it was never meant to carry.
Yes, Yes, Yessssssss!!!! Finally, someone is addressing that incredibly destructive little bit of heresy!
