The Marriage Relationship
Ephesians 5:24
The Upward Look
by Max D. Hutto,
“But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.” Ephesians 5:24 NASB
Throughout this whole passage Paul intertwines the relationship of the church and Christ with the relationship of the wife and the husband. It should be noted that this analogy amplifies the importance and significance of the marriage relationship. Marriage is not to be taken lightly or flippantly. Too often in today’s culture, people run in and out of a marriage or a cohabitational relationship almost like running in and out of a store or a restaurant. Marriage should be regarded as a serious and sacred relationship.
Lord Jesus, help me to take both my relationship to my spouse and my relationship with You and Your church seriously, giving them importance and preeminence.
