Just in case you don't know "that passage" from Ephesians, here it is:Here is a link to an excellent commentary on Ephesians 5:21-33 by Fr. John Riccardo as part of his Theology Of The Body series. With Valentine's day coming up, it seems like a perfect opportunity to look at what scripture is telling us about Christian marriage.
| 21 | Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. |
| 22 | Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord. |
| 23 | For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. |
| 24 | As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands. |
| 25 | Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, |
| 26 | that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, |
| 27 | that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. |
| 28 | Even so husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. |
| 29 | For no man ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ does the church, |
| 30 | because we are members of his body. |
| 31 | "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." |
| 32 | This mystery is a profound one, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church; |
| 33 | however, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. |
