For A Man Who Loves His Wife Actually Shows Love For Himself

Ecclesiastes 10; Ecclesiastes 11; Ecclesiastes 12; Psalm 94; Ephesians 5
For A Man
Who Loves His Wife
Actually Shows Love For Himself
Scripture
28 In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself.
Observation
This may sound crazy to you but it is so true, the more a guy shows love to his wife the more he actually shows love to himself.

I can tell you that after being married for almost 45 years that what God says in verse 28 is so true!

I feel sorry for husbands that don't put this passage of scripture into practice. They are the big losers.

God designed the husband/wife relationship! He created us. He knows how marriage works best!

Why don't you try to love your wife the same way that Christ loved the Church. He was willing to die for the church.

If we love our wife like God says to love her then God's Word says that we will actually be loving ourselves. We will be a lot better off.

Application

I will love Kathy this week with God's sacrificial love. And I know that she will respond with God's love back to me. It will be a great week.


Prayer

Heavenly Father, help men see that it is only to their advantage to love their wife the way You intended for them to love. Help all of us not to be selfish this week.
