Psalms 45:10-15
45:10 Listen, O princess!
Observe and pay attention!
Forget your homeland and your family!

After all, he is your master! Submit to him!

will seek your favor by bringing a gift.

decked out in pearls and clothed in a brocade trimmed with gold.
45:14 In embroidered robes she is escorted to the king.
Her attendants, the maidens of honor who follow her,
are led before you.
45:15 They are bubbling with joy as they walk in procession
and enter the royal palace.

Ephesians 5:23-27
5:23 because the husband is the head of the wife as also Christ is the head of the church – he himself being the savior of the body.
5:24 But as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
5:25 Husbands, love your
wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her
5:26 to sanctify her by cleansing her
with the washing of the water by the word,
5:27 so that he
may present the church to himself as glorious – not having a stain or wrinkle, or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.
