Ephesians 5:25 (NKJV) 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her…
Love your wife as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her.
That’s a pretty tall order, but it’s not a request or a question. It’s a command from God’s word.
And if God has told us to do it, then we need to do it!
What’s awesome in this, though, is that God has equipped us to do this by giving us His spirit. We have not been left to do it on our own power or by our own wisdom.
Wives need the love and support of a strong, compassionate, loving, understanding husband. It’s how God wired them.
And He wired us to be that man that they need.
So I urge husbands who might be reading this today, to love your wife as Christ loved the church. Treat her with respect, not with contempt or constant belittling.
She may not be perfect, but the last time I checked, neither are we. And if God has told us to love them as Christ loved the church, then we need to do just that!
