What is marriage? Marriage is a covenant commitment (a set of promises) between one man and one women. In marriage they promise to actively love each other until separated by death. This love is primarily an action, which then fosters feeling. Husbands express this love through servant-hearted leadership. Wives express it through joyful submission to the husband’s leadership. Why is marriage that? Because marriage is a picture of the relationship between Christ and the church. It exists to help us see something of what God is like, how he feels about us, and our future with him.
