21 submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body.
31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
Ephesians 5:21 (ESV)
21 SUBMITTING to one another out of REVERENCE for Christ.
Submitting (Place yourself under, subject) - to be or become inclined or willing to submit to orders or wishes of others (Christ)
Reverence (Fear, respect, AWE) - a feeling of profound respect for someone or something, conceived of as fear.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
Psalm 111:10 (ESV)
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!
Psalm 19:9 (ESV)
9 the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.
Ephesians 5:22–24 (ESV)
22 Wives, SUBMIT to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
1st Century Context
Ephesians 5:25–27 (ESV)
25 Husbands, LOVE your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
Ephesians 5:28 (ESV)
28 In the same way husbands should LOVE their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
Ephesians 5:31–33 (ESV)
31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you LOVE his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
4 For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6 Now as a concession, not a command, I say this. 7 I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from God, one of one kind and one of another.
Marriage is about humility, out serving one another, encouraging one another, respecting one another, going above and beyond, stretching one another, calling forth one another, being vulnerable with one another, COMMUNICATING with one another, COMMITTING to one another in all your affairs, FORGIVING one another.
