Although not all men and women are called to marriage, all men and women are designed and created as male and female as a first-article gift of God for their benefit and for the benefit of all creation. Our bodies tangibly point us to our dependence on each other and remind us that we are all gifts to one another.

Paul describes his role as a teacher in the Church as being “to make the word of God fully known, the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to His saints. … Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ” (Colossians 1:25–26, 28). This is exactly why we memorize the catechism with our children. Because we live in the age when the mystery of the Gospel has been revealed to the saints! We praise God that He has made both His Law and His Gospel understandable even to children, and we strive to abide in that Word with our children so that we as the Church may present everyone mature in Christ.

Excerpts from Male and Female
The order of creation and the unique relationship between head and helper in marriage intersects significantly with the theology of the pastoral office. If the pastoral office is a gift given by Christ to His Bride, the Church, how do we know from Scripture that it should be filled only by men and not by women as well? This goes back to Genesis and the institution of marriage, and it also draws on Ephesians 5 and the way in which marriage is a picture of Christ and the Church.
