The core of human coexistence is family and work. This is where faith has to prove itself. Ephesians 5,21 to 6,9
Paul is often only quoted in part, which leads to a wrong perception.
Man and woman are created to complement each other. Paul writes in Ephesians 5,21 “submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ”
Ephesians 5,31 says husband and wife become one. This is only possible in mutual appreciation.
So it’s about complementing and not about limiting each other. Not one decides for both, but everyone where he is competent. Instead of constantly living compromises, one should respond to the wishes of the other.
The relationship of Jesus to us is the great example for our marriages. He wants us to be able to develop and from the bottom of my heart be on the road with him. A woman confides in a man who submits himself to Christ and allows himself to be transformed by him.
If we maintain this respectful, appreciative approach, then such a life is a light in our society.
This loving, but also consistent approach also characterizes the relationship between parents and children. Watching their parents turn to God for help will also encourage children to trust God and not have to prove themselves strong. Paul also writes that fathers are responsible for religious education (Ephesians 6,4).
A constructive working environment requires benevolent interaction. Paul’s idea that we should do our work as if we were doing it for Christ (Ephesians 6,7) is also exciting. Every service becomes a service for God.
