What is understood by submission in marriage? - Part 2 by Fr. Anthony Mourad

About this sermon

What is understood by submission in marriage? In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, One God. Amen in the last video we understood WHY we are called to Submit. Now we attempt to understand the WHO we are called to be in marriage rather than asking WHAT is expected of me. Do not see it as a set of tasks or to-do’s, but rather as an embodiment of a higher calling. There is a reciprocity that is expected between partners where both are called to submission, but not manifested in the same roles and responsibility. (Ephesians 5:21 and read liturgical text) In the Orthodox Tradition we see marriage as a Trinitarian image – in marriage we see God. Just like the Trinity we confess sameness (essence) and yet diversity (persons). So also in marriage we see two persons united in God. (quote St John Chrysostom) Also, like in the trinity the Persons have different Role and Responsibilities. Our tradition teaches us for instance that the Man in the Trinitarian image of Marriage is called to be Christ. Woman is called to be the Helper – quote Genesis 2:18.
