“The designed purpose of marriage is to illustrate metaphorically God's relationship to his people... A marriage is complex, and fails if it lacks a crucial part. A marriage cannot rightly depict God's relationship with his people if it lacks faithfulness, or pleasure, or fruitfulness - or sex difference. The metaphor demands it.” — Rachel Gilson
