I consistently read of it in books, periodicals and the newspaper. We live in a society that is frantically trying to define how men and women should live and interact together. We work together, study together and play together. Yet the more we pursue mutuality, the more relationships between men and women become elusive, fragile and tense. Hostility keeps rearing its ugly head like a menacing cobra.
Sexual harassment is a hot button.
What we are trying to find eludes us. In fact, warring between the sexes seems to be more intense, more aggressive and more hostile than ever. This saddens but does not surprise me. Sin undermines, distorts and corrupts relationships. I can comprehend that men and women who do not know of the love of Christ can become alienated from each other and establish relational barriers.
