Relationships that Reflect: the Marriage Relationship - Ephesians 5:22-33

In this powerful passage, Paul teaches that marriage is more than a covenant between two people—it is a sacred reflection of the relationship between Christ and His Church. While offering guidance to husbands and wives, Paul lifts our eyes to a deeper truth: that the love, respect, and unity in marriage are meant to mirror the way we, as the Body, respond to Christ our Head. This “great mystery,” as he calls it, reminds us that our earthly relationships can point to eternal realities.
