Se han escrito numerosos libros sobre el matrimonio cristiano, pero la mayor!a da por hecho que la Biblia sit#a al hombre en un papel de superioridad, mientras que a la mujer se le otorga un papel de sometimiento y sumisi"n. Sin embargo, existe una mejor manera. Y no solo es m s saludable para las familias; tambies mucho m s fiel a lo establecido por la Biblia.

At the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. Because of this, a man should leave his father and mother and be joined together with his wife, and the two will be one flesh." So they are no longer two but one flesh. (Mark 10:6-8, CEB)
Marriage. It's been around for millennia, so what more can be said that hasn't already been said? Many books on Christian marriage have been written, but most assume that the Bible puts men in a leadership role, while women are to be submissive. But there's a better way. Not only is it healthier for families, but it's more faithful to the Bible. The Bible casts a vision of marriage where men and women co-lead and co-serve as equal partners. This book explores that vision.
Mutual by Design is divided into three sections. The first section, "In the Beginning," provides a biblical foundation for mutuality in marriage. The second section, "Nuts & Bolts," addresses the building blocks for growing a strong marriage, touching on topics such as how to develop friendship and intimacy; the key elements of good communication; the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation; and building a stable foundation financially. The final section, "What About_," examines three areas that have been difficult topics in the church-headship, abuse, and divorce. The content of these three chapters are included in this book in the hope that they will bring clarity to issues that have been confusing in the church.
This book is for those considering marriage, those already engaged, newlyweds, and any couple seeking to improve their relationship. The book can be used for individual couples or groups. Chapters include discussion questions, exercises, and suggestions for further reading.
