The Sacraments of Service
Through marriage and the holy orders, couples and the clergy promise to serve and build up the church community. Marriage
Marriage isn’t just a union between man and wife. The devotion husband and wife have to each other, and to Christ, mirrors Christ’s love and service to the church. Through marriage, a couple promises to help build each other up in faith, serve each other and the church and be faithful to each other until death. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her. Ephesians 5:25
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them.
