A Dialogue of Marriage
Argument:Contrary to popular myth The Bible does NOT teach that the wife(woman) is subservient to the husband(man).
HE:
lean,
lean
upon me
SHE:
love,
love
without desire
REFRAIN:
*Lean,
lean
each,
upon the other
SHE:
My spouse
my source
**head,
of we two
HE:
My helpmeet
counter-part me
REFRAIN:
One flesh
together
he, and she
with
THEE
* submit a physical act- to lean upon - we upon Jesus, in Jesus we lean each upon the other,in marriage the wife upon her husband
** head = source (as a spring is of a river) as Jesus is the head(source) of the body of Christ(the church) and the husband is the head(source) of the wife joined together as one upon marriage.
