We do not talk about this issue all too much and perhaps this is an issue that needs to be raised in our pulpits.

So then there is within Christian understanding the basis for remarking of relationships between the sexes. This holds true whatever ones posture is concerning women in authoritative ministry leadership. So it seems that for Christians at least, part of the challenge is for the message of the gospel to go deeper than it had thus far in AA circles so that it confronts, challenges and yes even redeems the culture rather than serving as an apologetic for ungodly behavior. Domestic violence against women (and men for that matter) must be seen for what it is; an issue of sin and repentance, rather than as a simple sociological problem. Inasmuch as the Confucian cultural ethic reinforces the Biblical "wives submit to your husbands" so much more must churches emphasize, "husbands love your wives and do not be harsh with them."
