Abstract
A reexamination of the Ephesians 5 passage reveals that headship and submission are more related by Paul in this context to marital process than to marital structure. Moreover, headship and submission seem to be components of an underlying process of mutuality. Mutuality in turn, forms the dynamic capable of producing oneness, God's aim for marriage. Counselors can help troubled marriages focus on a process of mutuality and thus provide them with a healing approach to the marriage relationship.Keywords
