I appreciate Tim's concern with the problems of feminism, but I think his advice could use some nuance. Feminism has infected the thinking of most people in the west, so it is rare to find anyone unaffected by it. A man and woman considering marriage will need to work out the issue of male headship as well as mutual submission. I know Tim rejects the teaching of Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI on mutual submission, but I think he needs to reexamine that. Sometimes the man, as the leader, needs to bend to the needs of the wife, and that is a form of self-sacrificial submission. It takes wisdom and discernment to know when that needs to happen. However, if the girlfriend, after a heart-to-heart discussion on the topic, is unwilling to let the man lead, they should not get married. Conversely, if a woman is not convinced her boyfriend will lead the family by treating her with loving care and respect, they should not get married.
