Marriage for the Glory of God 8/13/2017

Ephesians

In Ephesians 5, Paul’s extensive instruction to married couples contains no specific examples. Instead he provides the universal standard by which a husband or a wife may assess their behavior in any age or any culture. The purpose for which God ordained marriage makes biblical marriage distinctively different from all worldly marriages. Marriage is not primarily about our happiness or comfort but the glory of God as the relationship between the husband and wife bears witness to the redeeming love of God.
