Genesis 2:18,21-25
God is the author of marriage. God instituted marriage.
God made a suitable companion and helper to Adam from Adam's rib (a rib- from the side)- walk side by side.
A man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be one flesh. There is no longer, "My this and that." There is now "Our this and that." If you are afraid to marry in community of property because you may divorce, you are starting marriage in fear. If you want a successful marriage, it has to be started with God. If you have any problem in your marriage, go to the manufacturer of marriage. God is the authorized dealer of marriage. If your equipment has a problem, take it to its maker. When you have problem in your marriage, where do you go to? (Psalms 1:1-3)
Ephesians 5:22-33
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands: for the husband is the head of the wife; even as Christ is the head of the church.
It does not refer to women submitting to men. But if you choose to be a wife, you have chosen to support the mission of your own husband. (sub – under, mission).
The function of the head is to give direction and lead. The head cannot function apart from the body. The head is not for oppressing the body. The head needs the support of the body.
A husband needs to be respected by his own wife.
A wife needs to be loved and appreciated by her own husband. A husband should take care of his own wife.
