Description
 |
|
The traditional marriage was
never the Biblical marriage.
Ozzie and Harriet are gone. And with them, the idea that the traditional marriage is the only right
way. Yet, today's couples are also discovering that the "roleness" marriage in which everything is
equal, with no distinction between male and female, isn't all that satisfying either.
Rocking the Roles examines what the Bible really
has to say about the male and female roles. A far cry from the restrictions of the traditional
marriage or the formlessness of modern marriage, this approach offers a perfect blend of structure
and equality, balance and beauty.
If you want a marriage in which fairness, justice, respect, and support operate equally between
you and your partner, it's time for Rocking the Roles - and for discovering God's radical, inspired,
and timeless design for a lasting marriage.
