Ephesians 5:31-32 "As the Scriptures say, 'A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.' This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one."
Hello my dear--
Reading Ephesians 5 and it says that marriage is "a great mystery", and right after that it says "but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one."
So what I get from that is that marriage was designed to better understand the unity, love, sacrifice and submission of Christ and the church. Marriage isn't just there for human purposes or earthly fulfillment. It was designed to glorify the Gospel. I pray we rely on God's mighty power to fulfill that purpose. We were not created to marry each other, but to glorify God; marriage just happens to be an illustration of exactly how to do that. So let's do it.
I love you.
