thought provoking

As an occasional reader of Anna Aven's blog I found her recent post on "What does it mean to be a woman?" really interesting.  As a man I can't answer the question but it has significant impacts on how I live out my life, share my marriage and work out my ministry.  This quote was particularly thought provoking.

My understanding of the equality of women in both ministry and in relationships (extending to the marriage relationship) comes from the fall and redemption of humankind.  It is in the fall that Eve is told that "your husband shall rule over you."  This is the curse, the condemnation, the result if you will of the fall.  If the cross, then, is the redemption of the fall, should we not be looking for redeemed relationships?  Relationships that actually personify this idea that in Christ there is no male nor female?
