We’re in a series on marriage, and we’ve said the purpose of marriage is friendship and a unique oneness. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on September 29, 1991.

I’d like to show that Ephesians 5 teaches us 3 things about gender roles: 1) there are roles, 2) why there are roles, and 3) what those roles are. And the basic thesis in Ephesians 5 is that being male and being female are overlapping but distinguishable ways of being human. In a series on marriage, we come now to the question of whether there’s any differentiation between the roles and obligations of a husband and wife in marriage. In fact, if it’s true that Christianity doesn’t arise from the human spectrum of thought, but that it comes from above, then it’s natural that it doesn’t fit any particular ideology-and that every ideology is going to be suspicious of it. But Christianity isn’t to the left or to the right.

Today's podcast episode is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 6, 1991. Let’s look at what this passage teaches about the head: 1) head means the husband and the wife complete one another, and 2) head means there is an authority structure inside marriage. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church.” What does this mean? It means a whole lot.

In our series on marriage, we look for the second time at Ephesians 5:22: “Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. Yet it’s still an area to think carefully. I’m going to try to speak as personally out of my own experience as I possibly can. We’re looking at a subject that’s controversial.
