United Marriage | Ephesians 5:22-33
Our twelfth installment of Sojourn’s journey through the book of Ephesians closes the section of Paul’s writing that details with vivid description the life of someone brought to renewed life in Christ. While offensive to many in modern Western culture, this set of verses deals specifically with the nature of the marital relationship, where the wife submits to her husband, and the husband hands over his whole self to serve and benefit his wife. Ironically, this passage has been used in more recent history to support the domination and suppression of the very women it was originally written to protect and restore to proper placement beside their counterpart of Creation.
