Ephesians 5:22-33
The covenant bond of marriage between a husband and wife is designed by God as a living parable and reflection of Christ's relationship with his Church. That union is lived out in the beautiful ministry of service between the Bridegroom and his bride, the Head and his body. The union of husband and wife is likewise a beautiful ministry of service together when both understand and pursue their mutual callings in Christ and by the power of his Spirit. Now we look at the ministry of marriage between husband and wife.
