Ummm... we don't.
.How do married couples image God in their union?
The imaging I can find in the BIBLE comprises LOVE, HEADSHIP/AUTHORITY, SANCTIFICATION, RESPONSIBILITY OVER THE OFFSPRING/PARENTHOOD,
LOVE: God is love; and the bond of every true marriage is love. Any marriage without Love is fake and temporal. Love endures all things.I CORINTHIANS 13:4-5
4 ¶ Love suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; PROVERBS 10:12 ¶ Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
SANCTIFICATION
When we get in union with Christ our sins and fail is swallowed up in His blood and we Are clothed upon by His Righteousness.
I CORINTHIANS 7:13
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
I CORINTHIANS 7:14
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
HAEDSHIP/AUTHORITY
Here a family (husband and wife) is a type of God and His church. EPHESIANS 5:21
21 ¶ Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
RESPONSIBILTY/PARENT
LUKE 11:11
11 If a son shall ask bread of ANY OF YOU that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if [he ask] a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
LUKE 11:12
12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
LUKE 11:13
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your] HEAVENLY FATHER give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
God is the head of our household. He is who we turn to for all the answers. My #1 job in life is to help my spouse get to Heaven to be with God.
They reflect it in that God Created mankind (Adam and Eve) in his own image as an ideal.
as the sanctifier.
I don't understand the question.
It's got to do with ';Love';
your question makes no sense
how do you image god?
