God instituted marriage to be a reflection of the union between Jesus and the Church, that's why the devil continually tries to pervert this amazing union. Today, Pastor Ed will be explaining that marriage was meant to be an intimate partnership of mutual submission under God. The man is the head of the home, but both man and woman are to submit unto each other in the fear of the Lord as well. The most important relationship in our lives should be the one we have with the Lord, and the second is with our spouse.
