What does it mean to imitate God?  What does God expect from us?  What on earth was God thinking when He created human relationships? 

We can read Ephesians 5 quickly and miss the eternal love story that began for humanity back in the Garden of Eden.  Have you ever considered that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit initiated a plan to get a bride for Jesus and then sent then her to bridal boot camp to prepare herself? While she was preparing, the Groom was praying for her and preparing a place for her to dwell with him forever!  The best things are worth waiting for and working for.

While I have used modern colloquialism, I'd like to suggest to you that this is part of the unfolding story of the Bride of Christ.  Why not listen and consider what God's Word has told us.
