Wouldn't it be great if there were a way to worry less, or not to worry at all, in the midst of your struggles?" So writes Dr. Tim Lane in his book entitled, "Living Without Worry."

Striving to communicate the equal yet different beauty of the creation of man and woman I emphasized (heavily) the privilege and wonder of shining forth the image of God for the glory of God and our joy. However, I am fully cognizant that in emphasizing that aspect I limited the application of what it means to be complementarian in the church. In an effort to help us continue thinking through this highly important topic I thought it may be wise to point you to an article (and website) that will bring more specificity regarding biblical reasoning and application.
