“ Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; ” – Ephesians 5:22-25
The institution of marriage between one man and one woman, was more than a novel idea from God. It was, and still is today a sacred and lifetime covenant that is to be honored between husband and wife, before God. Not only has God brought forth the Divine institution of marriage. He has also set forth the instructions of marriage as well!
As Paul writes to fellow believers in Ephesus, the Holy Spirit of God inspires Paul to pen down two great instructions for a Godly a marriage. That is, wife’s are to submit to their own Husbands, and husbands are to love their wife’s as Christ loved the Church.
Friend, books on marriage may be nice, but they don’t take the place of a husband and wife yielding to the Holy Spirit of God within the marriage! When this is the case, there is no hinderance to joyful submission and sacrificial love. That will not only be displayed in marriage, but also delighted in as we honor Christ!
