“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”  This is a profound mystery – but I am talking about Christ and the church.  Ephesians 5: 31,32 (NIV)

Prayer:  Father, You created marriage to reflect the covenant union of Christ and his church-bride, yet sin has wreaked havoc with this earthly picture.  This profound mystery as seen in male-female sexuality and marriage very seldom testifies about that event.  We need Your intervention.  Please restore this powerful image in my marriage, and every marriage in the church.
