Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, in order to make her holy by cleansing her with the washing of water by the word, so as to present the church to himself in splendor, without a spot or wrinkle or anything of the kind—yes, so that she may be holy and without blemish. In the same way, husbands should love their wives as they do their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hates his own body, but he nourishes and tenderly cares for it, just as Christ does for the church, because we are members of his body. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, and I am applying it to Christ and the church. Each of you, however, should love his wife as himself, and a wife should respect her husband. (Ephesians 5:25-33, NRSV)
Husbands are to love their wives as Jesus loves the church!
If we love our wives we love ourselves, and by doing this we love her and the world as Jesus first loved us!
Love your wife as you do your own body.
Without blemish your love should be for her. Pray for the strength to be for your wife, what God is for you.
And allow the one flesh to be like the Trinity, 3 in one, you, your wife and Christ! a cord of 3 is never broken!
