Why not follow biblical marriage?

 Marriage. Oh Boy. First off I am not married, so I don't have a lot of personal experience to share with you, but, being human, I live around people who are married, and in a society where marriage and its attributes are largely discussed. So I can see many different sides and views of the topic of marriage. Here are a couple of view points that I've been seeing lately. Many of times I see the misconception that in a Christian Marriage, Women are not valued as much as men, Now we are getting into equality talk here, but this definitely is a well known misconception that needs to be addressed. What I have noticed, the more and more I have heard non-Christian point of view, is that it focuses mostly on gender equality, not gender roles. These two things are very different, but can easily be mushed together as one thing. In a Christian marriage, the two genders are equal, but they do not have the same roles. Just like having a team captain, and a team. You need a captain to lead and you need a team member to be lead. One could not function without the other, and this is very much how a biblical Marriage works. In a biblical marriage, The man is the leader of the household(he answers and listens to God), the wife follows his instructions (which are straight from God) and the children follow the parents lead. Marriage has a bullet proof game plan told to us straight from God. The question is why not follow it?
