Human marriage at its very best is a little, monochrome negative of a massive wall print. Wives are not told to submit to their husbands because women are worse at leading than men, but because the church submits to Christ. Husbands are not told to give themselves up for their wives because men are less valuable than women, but because Jesus gave his life for us. Husbands are told to love their wives as their own bodies, because the church is Jesus’s body on earth.
