The Biblical Formula for Marriage | Ephesians

Ephesians 5 contains one of the most debated verses in the Bible: "Wives, submit to your own husbands." But does this mean forced obedience? And does "Headship" give husbands the right to act like dictators? In this study, The Bible Club tackles the theology of marriage head-on. We unpack the Greek word for submission (Hupotassō), explain why it must be voluntary, and reveal the radical command Paul gives to husbands—not to rule their wives, but to die for them. We also discover the "Mystery" of marriage: it isn't just a contract between two people; it is a living, breathing picture of Christ and the Church. The Context: Why verse 22 cannot be read without verse 21 ("submitting to one another"). Wives: The meaning of voluntary submission (Hupotassō) vs. forced obedience. Husbands: Why "Headship" (Kephalē) is about source and sacrifice, not control. The Mystery: How marriage reveals the Gospel (Christ and the Church). Nourish & Cherish: The tender responsibility of a husband to help his wife flourish.
