Marriage is not just about love it is about Christ. In Ephesians 5 Paul shows us that every relationship begins with humility as we submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. This is not weakness but worship. Wives are called to submit not because they are less but because they trust Jesus and place themselves under His mission. Husbands are called to love in a way that goes far beyond feelings as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her. That means real love is sacrifice it is choosing to die to self daily and putting your spouse before your own comfort pride and desires. Marriage is not about getting what you want it is about becoming who God has called you to be. Paul reminds us that this is a profound mystery pointing to Christ and the church which means your marriage is meant to reflect the gospel to the world around you. Not perfectly but clearly. When Christ is first in your life everything else begins to fall into place so the question is does your love reflect Jesus.
