Does Gabby Get It?

Trisha was flipping around the channels on Friday night, and settled on Rock Center.  I'm generally not a fan of these kinds of shows, but I found myself intrigued by one of the stories - about the marriage of Gabrielle Reece and Laird Hamilton.  The story also caught the attention of Ryan Gold, who blogged about it:

What if I told you a former professional beach volleyball player/fitness model and her world-class surfer dude husband resemble more of a biblical marriage than many evangelical Christians. 
... 
while it’s not my desire to hold this couple up as a model to follow, I do think they are a rebuke to many Christian marriages that ought to be experiencing and modeling what Laird and Gabby are doing without the Holy Spirit in their lives. 
Here are some things I found intriguing about this interview:
  • She embraces submission.
  • She embraces clearly defined gender roles.
  • She’s a strong woman married to a strong man.
  • She believes regular sex in marriage is not an option.

Read the full thing and see how Gold expands on those "intriguing" things.
