“And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Jos 24:15

Paul uses family relationships -- marriage and family -- to characterize ministry relationships (1Th 2:4-12, Eph 5:22-23; Eph 6:1-5). "Submitting to one another in the fear of God" (Eph 5:21). Blessings are given for us to become a channel of them. We need a relationship revolution: (1) there are only two kinds: good and bad; (2) examples of the contrast are the "Orange" and Bolshevik revolutions; (3) good revolutions are based on responsibility personal relationships; (4) every believer has been enlightened, given power, to have profound impact on the world around them (Mat 28:18-22); (5) this begins at home. Marriage becomes a living witness to Christ and church. Family illustrates love among the brethren (2Co 3:6).
More than any book Ephesians reveals the blessings from God based on our relationship with Jesus Christ by grace through faith. Eph 1:3 is the a key verse. Other key verses by chapter include Eph 2:8 Eph 3:19 Eph 4:1 Eph 5:18 and Eph 6:10-11.
