- Abstract
- Traditional teaching on marriage within the conservative, evangelical population often emphasizes male headship, a concept that has been widely accepted as biblical and God-ordained. A closer look at relevant passages in the scripture shows that the validity of such a concept is questionable. A biblical theology of marital oneness is developed that shows God's original intent for a married couple was to procreate and have dominion over the earth together as equal partners. Hierarchy in marriage as seen in many marriages throughout history is a result of the fallen condition of humankind, not the original blue print for marriage as designed by God. It is vital that a Christian man and woman come together to live out the oneness and unity that God intended from the very beginning to reflect His image and bring Him glory.
