Part of the Marriage Story (17)
Series: Ephesians

Ephesians 5: 21-33
My favorite night of the week during the fall season is Friday. I enjoy going to Martin Stadium, ''The Concrete Palace,'' and watching my Lowndes High Vikings play football. In addition to the game, I love the half-time show with the LHS Georgia Bridgeman. Once a band nerd always a band nerd. Once a Bridgeman always a Bridgeman.
When I was in band, many, many, many years ago, our directors would have a show written just for us, everything from adapting a musical score to the on-field formations. It was and is exciting. It is like a symphony with visuals! Each year I'm anxious to see what story the band is going to tell. The purpose of every half-time show, every musical, every symphony, is to tell a story. I love marching bands because it is not a story that's told by just one person or instrument. It takes every instrument and every dancer to tell the story.
For the full impact of the show to be felt and its message communicated, each instrument must play their part and play it appropriately, according to composer and conductor's design or the message of the performance will be lost. If the trumpets decide, since they can overpower the other instruments, and play extraordinarily loud they will drown out everyone else and musicality and nuance of the performance is lost. If the drums, who keep the cadence and rhythm flowing, decide to play so fast that all the instruments are left behind and the dancers unable to keep up you would not enjoy the performance. Rather than look like a work or art, it would look like a train-wreck of misguided musicians and dancers who failed to understand the performance as a whole. One instrument and one part cannot tell the entire story.
The same is true in our marriage relationships. God has designed our marriage to tell a story that is much bigger than that of a husband and wife. However, it requires both husband and wife knowing, un ...
