Marriage is a mystery. Sometimes I hear people who do not have a happy marriage use this phrase sarcastically. Apostle Paul's explanation, however, is quite simple. All of us can understand, especially those of us who are married. It seems that God has ordained marriage as being important because marriage is to help us understand Christ and the Church. Under normal circumstances every True Believer's marriage should do this.
