This booklet explores the mystery of biblical marriage as a type of the relationship between Christ and His bride, the Church.

The uniqueness of this relationship is witnessed in the creation of the woman, from the rib of the man. This corresponds to the bride of Christ, the Church, which was similarly purchased with blood and water issuing from the side of her husband, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul's command for husbands to love their wives and wives to respect their husbands are twin pillars central to the success of a marriage.
