TOB Ch's 5 and 6

Here are some key questions for these chapters. We'll spend the majority of the time on Ch. 6, but Ch. 5 has some important things as well.

Ch. 5
-How do marriage and celibacy complement each other?
-Why is celibacy a "higher call"?
-Why is it okay to choose marriage even though celibacy is a higher calling?

Ch. 6
-What's the difference between passivity and receptivity? Which is Ephesians 5 calling for?
-What does it mean for marriage to be a great mystery in reference to Christ and the Church?
-What does it mean for the marital embrace to be the reality which corresponds to the meaning of the vows?

These are just a few questions. I imagine we'll spend quite a bit of time on the passage from Ephesians 5 as well.
