This document discusses biblical principles for marriage from passages in Genesis, Ephesians and 1 Corinthians. It outlines that God is the author of marriage and it is holy. The roles of husband and wife are to reflect the relationship of Christ and the church - with the husband serving as the head and leader, just as Christ leads the church, and the wife serving as a helper and companion. It provides guidance that wives should submit to their husbands' authority, while husbands are called to sacrificially love and cherish their wives. The ultimate purpose of marriage is to glorify God.
