I fell off the wagon. It's been about a month since I've done any real studying. That being said, I haven't been completely out of the Word. Nightly bible reading with my son, occasional verse look-ups for discussions or encouragement, etc.
The theme of this section is equality in marriage. The awesome part of this is how radical this was. This was the original feminism. One husband, one wife - the end of polygamy. Man fulfils his duty, woman hers. Husband's body doesn't belong only to himself. Likewise with her. Men (gender neutral) now were equals, regardless of gender, and especially in marriage.
It also highlighted the importance of believers holding to the standard even when the other partner is not a believer. Gosh, that worked well for Caren :)
