How do we know God's order for marriage is true?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture establishes God's order for marriage, indicating the husband's headship and the wife's submission (Ephesians 5:23).

The truth of God's order for marriage is evidenced in scripture, notably in Ephesians 5:23, which states that the husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the church. This divine structure is intended for the harmony and well-being of the family unit. Furthermore, Paul's exhortation for wives to submit and for husbands to love their wives sacrificially reflects a greater truth about Christ's relationship with the church. Understanding this helps Christians see that this order is not about power imbalance but about loving guidance and mutual respect within God’s ordained framework, which ultimately glorifies Him.
