The Gift of the Bride and the Glory of Communion

God instituted marriage, and God governs marriage by His holy commandments. However, Genesis 2 is not just about marriage, but is also about God's greater design for human flourishing through communion. This passage has much to teach us about marriage. But it also points us to how, only in Christ, true God and true man, and in the community of the body of Christ, the church, is this communion ultimately found.
