Marriage is a vital part of the story that God is telling about His creation. The one-flesh union of a man as covenant head and a woman who builds her home is meant to reflect Christ, the true and perfect covenant head, who builds His kingdom through the faithful labour of His bride, the church. This bond is close, intimate, life-giving, and abundantly fruitful. Christian marriage is the God-ordained garden in which children are welcomed and where fruitfulness, dominion, and the Great Commission are cultivated and extended. The charge in this series is for your eyes to be opened to the glory all around you. Being a man is glorious. Being a woman is glorious. Marriage is glorious, and the little people that result from that marriage bond are glorious. Christian, you are surrounded by glory on all sides. Ask the Spirit to help you see it, and joyfully labour in the heavy joy as you fulfill your calling as man or woman, husband or wife, wherever God has placed you, determining to return His gifts back to Him thirty, sixty, or even a hundredfold.
