5. Which is NOT true?

b. In I Corinthians 7:2-5, Paul establishes the spiritual supremacy of singleness over marriage.

Rather, the biblical model for marriage is that of a loving complementarity where the husband and wife are partners who value and respect each other and where the husband's loving leadership is met with the wife's intelligent response. If Christ chooses to submit to God the Father while being equal in worth and personhood, there is no good reason why God could not have designed the huband-and-wife relationship in such a way that the wife is called to submit to the man while likewise being equal in worth and personhood.
