In fact, it was these general commands of the creation ordinances that were the most formative in shaping the daily lives of Adam and Eve as they lived in communion with their Creator. It was obedience to these commands that shaped the patterns of their days and lives and that worked to make Adam and Eve increasingly like the God whose image they bore. Indeed, in observing the creation ordinances, Adam and Eve would reflect the character and activity of God. In subduing and keeping the Sabbath, they would mirror God’s own work in the creation week. In marriage’s plurality within unity, they would reflect the plurality within unity of God Himself.

Footnote: Again, to be explicit, this does not imply that roles within marriage are based on the relationships among the persons of the Trinity. They are not. Such an implication is nowhere in the biblical text.
