The battle of the sexes is not a modern phenomenon.
It has been around since Adam and Eve, but it continues to be a source of tension and power struggles in the world.
The tendency today is to either view men and women as either being no different to each other or as diametrically opposed to each other where never the twain shall meet.
The reality is that men and women are equal but different, each with their own strengths and with complementary roles in God’s creation.
The Vatican’s letter ‘The Collaboration of Men and Women in the Church and in the World’ calls for active collaboration between the sexes.
This is particularly important in the family environment where tensions between men and women are often a cause of marriage breakdown.
