Ephesians 5 is a wild ride! There's prohibitions against sexual immorality (what does that mean? does anyone have an exact list of things that make something sexually immoral?) and a long passage about marriage and headship!
What was your parent's marriage like when you were growing up?
Did they live out the Eph 5 vision for marriage?
Does Paul's vision for marriage require a husband to have authority over a wife or do you think this text is about abandoning power and authority to take the posture of sacrificial love and humility?
What would change about how we read this text if we took his words seriously at the end of chapter 5 where he says he's talking about Jesus and the Church and not marriage?
Does marriage teach us about the gospel or does the gospel inform every.single.human.relationship?
Have a listen and let Dallas or Nikayla know what you thought!
