Our marriages should produce the mutual joy of both husband and wife, but that’s not the primary or only thing a marriage is for. Submitting, loving, & obeying are all descriptions of what people do when they are filled with the Spirit. If you only obey God when your spouse obeys Him first, you will never consistently obey God. Getting stuck in that kind of cycle can cause us to convince ourselves that God wants something for us that His Word forbids, denying the truth because it doesn’t fit into our perception of reality. We desperately need the Spirit for unity, harmony, & peace in our marriages. The true meaning of marriage had been concealed in times past, but now God was saying that marriage is a picture of Christ and the church. The original and deeper truth is God’s marriage to His people, and now it's being revealed through Christ’s marriage to the church. The copy is what we see in human marriage between a husband and a wife. The church submits to Christ in all thing
