“Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” Genesis 2:24 (ESV)
God ordained the marital union to be a living, breathing illustration of Christ’s relationship with his bride. Ephesians 5 lays it out in great detail. A relationship, where all of the flaws, faults, warts and scars are known, yet the love commitment thrives.
You won’t see this in Romantic comedies because, frankly, Hollywood types have no idea what Biblical love is. The marital union is a glorious institution characterized by passionate commitment and mutual humility, where spouses esteem one another more highly than themselves. Marriage is more than a relationship, its ministry.
