After the Crash

“Before the Fall, certain motions between husband and wife were just natural, normal, right, and effortless. After the Crash (as we might just as well call it), all of us who are redeemed in Christ are going through intensive ‘physical therapy’ in order to relearn some of those fundamental motions. Just like a victim of an automobile accident who has to learn how to use a spoon again, so men have to learn how to take responsibility and women have to learn how to submit. And it can be exasperating to have to be told the same thing by your therapist ten times in a day — exasperating but worth it” (For a Glory and a Covering, p. 67).
