Household Code: Marriage as Christ and the Church

The single highest-sensitivity passage in this package for the contemporary German context: mutual submission (5:21) must frame 5:22-24; never license for coercive authority given Germany’s constitutional marital-equality commitment (Grundgesetz Art. 3). Christ’s self-giving, sacrificial love (5:25-30) must receive at least equal teaching weight to the submission language. Mandatory theologian AND native-speaker review.
