Visual Guide to Marital Oneness

2010   |   6 comments


Interprative iconography for the responsibilities of the husband and the wife.


Printed 24×36 inch poster.

[ OVERVIEW ]

Recently I read several great books about purity and marital oneness. After several extensive discussions with my wife about the topic we decided to create a straight-forward visual guide to achieving oneness within a marriage. This visual guide, a 24"x36" poster, now hangs in our home as a constant reminder of the obligations my wife and I have to one another as a married couple.

-----

Wives and Husbands

Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church, for we are members of his body. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. This is a profound mystery, but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

Ephesians 5:22-33 (NIV)

    Yet another well executed project of clean, and powerful design. It’s a piece that you not only enjoy looking at but also enjoy the purpose of the piece. Great work as always!

  3. The only thing better than the iconography here is the message. Awesome work!

    Just when I thought, “These have Christian connotations”, I then read that you have quoted the Bible! Well done. :) I’m sharing this with my friends, if you don’t mind.

  5. Am in love with this.

    Have been planning to create something similar on marital relations. Luckily I found your work which is so perfect.

    @Oksana Lesko : Very well said.

    I love the artwork, why why must a woman “sumbit” to her husband? Can they not appreciate equal sesne of power in a marriage?
