“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. -Ephesians 5:31-32
The New Testament uses marriage to illustrate the relationship between Christ and his church. Paul writes to the Ephesians commanding husbands to love their wives the way Christ loves the church. We are told in 5:2 to “walk in love.”
