In the marriage service in the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, there is a list of lessons that is suggested for reading during the wedding. I usually ask couples to read those lessons and select the ones that mean the most to them for including in the service.
Couples take the task on with varying degrees of enthusiasm and with different results.
It is a fine text that makes some excellent points about relationships with Christ and with one another. That passage manages to push personal, emotional, and historical buttons all at once. It is viewed as terribly sexist on the part of St. Paul, and he is understood by many to be an enemy of women and a male chauvinist pig of the very first order. The reaction is understandable and it needs to be appreciated. It is not very fair to Paul or to the text.
