There is always a pattern for us to follow in all things and in all activities within the Kingdom of God. The pattern should be a Biblical one. This principle covers every part of our lives. Here we have a clear picture of the Love of God for the Church through Jesus Christ, He is the Head of the Church and it gives a beautiful pattern for husbands and future husbands.
