The marriage union is a blessing given by God from the very beginning of creation, and it has also taken on important redemptive elements in light of the fall of humanity. It should not be missed that our marriages are meant to be mirrors reflecting something much more than simply living out our lives with another person. The Church is the Bride of Christ, and our marriages should make a declaration about our union with him. And in the marriage analogy, we also catch a glimpse of the ultimate marriage to come: when Christ's preparations are complete, his Bride is made perfect, and all the saints celebrate together at the wedding supper of the Lamb.
