Paul explains that this marriage and this union of a man and a woman coming together and becoming one flesh was just a picture of something far greater. It is the thought that God and his child would become one. This isn’t just about having a happy marriage so we can have a happy families. We are involved in something much bigger here than creating a home down here on earth. We are supposed to show the world a picture of Jesus Christ by the way we love our spouses and children.
