I'm just wondering how many people here would say that, by the grace of God, you and your spouse have a good marriage that a lot of people would do well to emulated.
I have a good marriage, but I don't believe anyone should "emmulate" any marriage. Marriages are specific to that couple, and there's no formula or technique that can be followed for a good marriage. What works for me and my wife ( or you and your wife) may not work for other couples.

The structure of my marriage is sound. The egalitarian aspects absolutely work, and I would have no hesitation in proposing that model to anyone. However, I wouldn't recommend my husband's inappropriate content use to others, nor ask them to emulate his messed up mind when it come to sexual matters. If there wasn't that ongoing fly in the ointment, I think that our marriage would be awesome, because in all other respects, we have a lot going for us.
I'm not clear on how the metaphors are being used. What's the difference between the structure of the marriage and the marriage?
dittoIt's still pretty new, but I have a fantastic marriage, IMHO.
I'm not going to say anyone should emulate me, though. I think that would be rather arrogant, tbh.
People should live their own lives and look to the Holy Spirit for how exactly they plan to do that.
