God has a lot to say about all of life and relationships are no exception! Marriage according to God's design involves mutual submission rooted in Christ-centered relationships. While wives are called to respect their husbands, husbands are commanded to love their wives with the same sacrificial love Christ showed the church. This passage in Ephesians 5 is often misunderstood without its cultural context - in Roman times, women had few rights, making Paul's teaching revolutionary. God's original design before sin entered the world was for husbands and wives to complement each other in their differences, living in covenant relationship for God's glory and their mutual benefit. True Christian marriage offers a compelling alternative to the world's broken relationship patterns.
