This section of Ephesians offers a profound picture of how marriage reflects the gospel. Paul calls husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the Church: intentionally, sacrificially, and relentlessly. Wives are called to follow their husbands’ loving leadership with respect and trust, as the Church follows Christ. This passage isn’t about power or control, but about gospel-shaped roles that reveal God’s good design. As married couples live out these callings, their marriages become living parables of God’s love for His people. What’s more, embracing this pattern in marriage paves the way for the healthiest, most fulfilling marriage relationship possible!
