“Wives, submit to your own husbands as to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:22)
Marriage is a Mystery that belongs to an entirely different order than the mere union of a man and woman. It basically regards a husband and wife as symbols of another marriage; namely, the marriage of Lord Jesus and the Church: “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord…therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.” (Ephesians 5:22-24)
