Many men treat their wives as their support staff. For years Christian men have believed and acted as if wives were their support staff. There is a world of difference between functioning as a helper and being in the support role. I will make a helper suitable for him. Misunderstanding of the words helper and suitable sub-consciously convey the attitude of male superiority.

I see a world of difference between functioning as a helper and being in the support role. Its normal for people on an equal footing to help each other. But the concept of support staff has the inherent attitude that I'm number one and the supporter is number two. Years ago I abandoned the idea that my wife was to function as my support staff. The inference here is, I'm the main player and my wife gives a little boost or assist.
