There is, in the relations of origin of the triune God, an irreversible taxis to which the obedience of the incarnate Christ corresponds in human form. It’s an eternal procession that reaches its strangely logical final conclusion in the sending of the Son. As for his submission to the Father, I don’t know what they call it in the happy land of the Trinity, but when it lives among us it is rightly named obedience. - Fred Sanders
The only thing I would add to this statement is that the Bible teaches that the pre-incarnate Son submits to the Father in the covenant of redemption, and I would affirm with Swain that this teaching is an “application of orthodox trinitarian principles to the locus of God’s eternal decree” (p. 122).
5. On Gender: I am a Danvers complementarian. That view of gender is not and never has been reliant upon an analogy to the Trinity.
Biblical complementarianism neither stands nor falls on speculative parallels with Trinity.
It may be that some writers have pushed such analogies, but that has never been an essential ingredient of Danvers complementarianism.
