marriage “is the wraparound concept for the entire Bible.”6 It illustrates the big thing God is doing in the universe: making a people for his Son. Ortlund continues: The eternal love story is why God created the universe and why God gave us marriage in Eden and why couples fall in love and get married in the world today. Every time a bride and groom stand there and take their vows, they are reenacting the biblical love story, whether they realize it or not.7 And this story provides the key to understanding our sexuality.
