beautiful home(2)
After the couple got married, they became one person. Therefore, it means that two people love each other as one body. The union of husband and wife is a mystery because Christ is likening the union with the church.
Genesis 2:18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for a man to be alone, so I will make a helper for him." That is, when God created the woman, God ordained the man to help him. The wife is the husband's collaborator as the mother of the children. And we have to accept and acknowledge the role God has given us, and create a happy and orderly home.
First, you must submit to your husband (verse 24).
The word submission means to submit to one another out of reverence for Christ (Ephesians 5:21).
Also, submissiveness does not imply a difference in status that women are inferior to men.
Men and women are equal in the Lord. (Galatians 3:28) However, based on the creation order (1 Corinthians 11:2-16), for family order and unity, the wife recognizes her husband as the representative of the family and respects and submits it are asking you to do it.
However, it is not appropriate to interpret the Bible as supporting male supremacy. It emphasizes the fact that both men and women belong to God and play an indispensable role in each other (1 Corinthians 11:11-12).
These are not mutually opposing, but mutually dependent and complementary beings. Even if their personal desires are legitimate, are they willing to harm the interests of the family or the church community?
