A guy named Athol Kay at www.marriedmansexlife.com uses the captain/first officer analogy very well. The captain ultimately makes the final decision and stands accountable first and foremost if things go wrong, while the first officer is perfectly competent and capable of commanding the ship if so needed. I believe "blind obedience" is a red herring as only a fool decides without consulting his first officer.

Spouse A is passing the baton to spouse B. It resonates equality as a team (there is no “I” in team) as well as calling each individual runner to 100% of the task that they are moving in.<br /><br />The second is that of a lock and key. Again, it is team work and the door simply cannot be opened unless both objects function in the office to which God has placed them; husband or wife.<br /><br />The reason I like these metaphors is that it removes the ‘he said/she said’ and causes a shift in me. It takes my focus off of me and places it back on what is important (winning the race or opening the door) … the marriage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
