—Ephesians 5:21-33

In Matthew 22, Jesus tells us the greatest commandments: to love God and to love others as ourselves. These commands are echoed in these verses on marriage. Using these commandments as the guide for how we treat our spouses will guide us in fulfilling the covenant we have made with each other before God. Within marriage, two people become one. The decisions one makes must acknowledge the promise they have made to God and their spouse, to honor the love they share.
