b"We\\u2019re looking at a subject that\\u2019s controversial. I\\u2019m going to try to speak as personally out of my own experience as I possibly can. Yet it\\u2019s still an area to think carefully.\\nIn our series on marriage, we look for the second time at Ephesians 5:22: \\u201cWives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church.\\u201d What does this mean? It means a whole lot.\\xa0\\nLet\\u2019s 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.\\nThis sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 6, 1991. Series: Marriage. Scripture: Ephesians 5:22-33.\\nToday'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.
