²²Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. ²³For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. ²⁴Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. —Ephesians 5:22-24

²⁴Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. —Genesis 2:24

Man and Woman were

flesh.

Within their one flesh were different

What happened?

¹⁶To the woman He said: “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.” —Genesis 3:16

The roles of man and woman did not change. Struggle was now present in their roles.

Paul’s Encouragement

²²Wives, submit to your own husbands, AS TO THE LORD. —Ephesians 5:22

Your

with God determines your walk with your husband.

¹²Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. ¹³For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him. —Philippians 2:12-13

We can

your role just as we celebrate the church under Christ.

²⁴Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. —Ephesians 5:24
