Husbands,
Go All Out In Your Love For Your Wives,
Exactly
As Christ Did For The Church –
A
Love Marked By Giving, Not Getting.
Scripture
Ephesians
5
22-24 Wives,
understand and support your husbands in ways that show your support
for Christ. The husband provides leadership to his wife the way
Christ does to his church, not by domineering but by cherishing. So
just as the church submits to Christ as he exercises such leadership,
wives should likewise submit to their husbands.
25-28
Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ
did for the church—a love marked by giving, not getting. Christ’s
love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything
he does and says is designed to bring the best out of her, dressing
her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness. And that is how
husbands ought to love their wives. They’re really doing themselves
a favor—since they’re already “one” in marriage.
Observation
Smart
guys know how to love their wives!
Men,
don't you realize that everything that you and I do to show love
towards our wives actually benefits us?
Once
we get married we are “one” in Christ!
Every
sacrifice that you and I make for the woman in our life makes our
lives better!
What
a fools we are if we are mistreating our wives!
Misery
-- is two selfish people trying to live together!
Come
on guys … you want a great marriage … then go all out in your
love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church!
And
wives you can help by building up your man and praising him every
chance you get!
Application
I
will love Kathy the way that Christ loved the church. How will you
love your spouse?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me to be smart enough to always remember that loving my
wife is loving myself too. Don't let me be selfish Lord. Help me love
Kathy with Agape love. It is so easy for me to be selfish. I don't
even have to work at it. So help me Lord to put Kathy's needs above
my own. Show me how to love her. I pray for those reading this blog
today. Show them how to love their spouse!
