Genesis 2:23-24 ASV

I was looking at my wife beautifully asleep while I was reading this passage for a recent bible study we did at our church. The passage struck me so strongly as a reminder that we are one. So often this passage is taught as an example of how man is above woman - but I think its so much more...
God created us to be partners to each other and equal in our roles. My wife completes me and makes me a person that is better because of the partnership. To consider her anything but my equal would be insanity on my part because she does so much for me in life.

Isn't it time to stop worrying about gender roles and start focusing on the fact that we are God's creation and have both been placed here to do His Will.
