EN
One of the most important biblical texts about marriage are included in Ef 5. This fragment analyzes various aspects of the relationship between husband and wife. According to this, a special attribute of Christian marriage is sacramentality, consisting in participation of spouses, as personal communion, in salvation mystery understood as a deep bond of Christ with Church, thanks to which the marriage of Christians assumes a preternatural dimension. Moreover, Christ`s bond with Church is an example of mutual relations between spouses. A detailed mutual relation of husband and wife is stressed here, and especially the fact of wife`s submission to her husband, that can not be unders- tood as any sort of slavery, but rather as a form of Christian`s calling and the serve to Christ. As Christ is a head of the Church and takes care about the full development of it, especially in salva- tion, the same should be a husband for his wife.
