Think Outside The Box Concerning Marriage

Have you taken into consideration the spiritual aspects of Christian marriage? There's more significance to the Christian marriage than just the "I do's", going on the honeymoon and the day-to-day living that couples experience. "Think Outside the Box Concerning Marriage" breaks some new ground in giving understanding of the spiritual aspects of Christian marriage. First of all, God didn't punish Adam and Eve for eating the forbidden fruit. God set Adam and Eve in right relationship with God and each other so neither of them would have an independent spirit from God and each other. "Think Outside the Box Concerning Marriage" paints a beautiful picture of the spiritual aspect of Christian marriage. Ephesians 5 talks about it in detail. The key verse is Ephesians 5:21, "Submitting yourselves to one another in the fear of God." This flies in the face of traditional church teaching that the husband "wears the pants in the family." The scripture in Ephesians 5 that the husband "wears the pants in the family". Although the husband is noted as being the head of the wife, the assignment is more for responsibility and accountability toward God. This book explains that Christian marriage is a picture of Christ and the church. The man is instructed to love his wife as Christ loved the church by loving it and giving Himself for it. The wife is instructed to reverence her husband. The passage proclaims that Christian marriage is a picture of the resurrected Christ, that we are of His flesh and of His bones.-Ephesians 5:30, Simplified KJV. This gives the marriage resurrected life.
