About Sacred Head?

A mysterious and organic union exists between a husband and wife, like the union that exists between Christ and his church. We want to clarify what this union means for men in particular and equip our body to lean into that mystery together. Men are called the “head” of the marriage. But this idea of headship has been misunderstood and misapplied too frequently in Christian marriages. In Ephesians 5:25, husbands are told to “love their wives as Christ loved the church.” This means that our theology of Christ’s love will be determinative of how a Christian wife is loved. Of course, husbands are not Christ, but even though we cannot duplicate it exactly, we are nonetheless commanded to imitate the love of Jesus and seek to be like Christ in his love.
