Marriage

In both Paul and Peter we discover a consistent pattern for how marriages are to function in the way of Jesus. Christian marriage is the coming together of a man and woman to love one another within the unique roles Christ has given each. Men are called to gently nourish, care for, and lead their wives as they are led by Jesus. Women are called to yield to their husband’s leadership as they come together as a team to display Christ with their lives. All of this is fueled by the love of Christ poured into their hearts by the Holy Spirit. The ongoing union and communion of marriage are fueled by their union and communion with Christ himself.
