“Giving honor to the wife that your prayers may not be hindered” (1 Peter 3:7)
Marriage is the basic unit of society in all biblical cultures. The Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” (Genesis 2:18)
“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)
“Glory to God in the Highest Peace on earth, good will to men” (Luke 2:14)
