Today, God's marriage commands are ridiculed, forcing an out-of-control penchant for divorce and a rise in short-term shacking up, threatening to destroy the God-ordained family and the sanctity of the marriage covenant, which has been designed by Almighty God as a God-plane relationship. As the apostle Paul taught in Ephesians 5:22-27, the marriage covenant must be elevated to the stature of Christ and the Church. A caring husband is commanded to love his spouse as he nourishes his own physical body; no sane person ever hated his own body. A husbands must cherish his wife, letting her know she is special and worth infinitely more than precious gems, allowing plenty of time for intimacy. Not only did Christ sacrifice His life for His Bride, He is nourishing her, providing the Holy Scriptures for spiritual food, and a functioning ministry to collectively bring all spiritual siblings to the stature of Christ. God's people are fed and nourished by interaction with spiritual siblings. Christ has been guarding, clothing, and nourishing the collective Bride, loving her far before she had begun reciprocating. By giving His Holy Spirit, Christ has been smoothing out all her spots and wrinkles, making her ready for the glorious Marriage of the Lamb. Psalm 45 contains a prophetic description of future glories of the Messiah and His Bride, when the rigorous sanctification process has been completed, and we, as God's glorified saints (the collective bride of Christ) will see our Spouse as He is, by His side, sharing His splendiferous glory.
