I hope you're beginning to understand, at least in part, the vision that burns in my spirit. When Jesus returned to heaven and sent us His Spirit, His intention was for His Church to become so glory-filled that other people might truly see God. Even if they choose to reject Him, at least they will have seen His nature and beauty and plan.
But today the "glory of Christ," i.e. men, too rarely look like the divine royalty they are. Part of the problem is women, who are often so disconnected from men (or who so dominate them) that the glory-chain is seriously damaged.
The greater problem, however, lies with the men themselves, who don't realize that the biggest battle they face is to stay closely connected to Christ. It's not something mystical, really, but rather a tough, day-by-day determination to put Him at the top of their "what matters" list.
So. Circling back to your original question, your wife's relationship with you will (over time) become the picture of your relationship with God. If you honor Him and follow His leadership, she will honor and follow you. It will be the toughest challenge of your existence. But it can also become the place of your greatest significance and joy.
Love and prayers,
Diane
