Tag: What the Bible says about how husbands should love their wives

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-4-18

Ephesians 5:28-29 (NKJV) 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.

Husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. This is a powerful statement that, if we could just get it, would transform our marriages.

In marriage, we need to make sure we are meeting the needs of our spouse. It’s important that we don’t put them after everything else. Doing so is a recipe for a failed marriage.

We nourish our own bodies with food. We take care of them with exercise and other means of doing our best to stay healthy. This is done because we care about our own bodies. We care about ourselves.

So it should be with our wives. We need to nurture them, cherish them, love them and put them first, above other things. They need to come before our hobbies, our sports and our work.

It’s easy to take them for granted and push them to second or third place. We sometimes make the mistake of thinking that because they will always be there that we can put them off “until later”.

But it’s important that we don’t fall into that trap. Because doing so can break down the relationship and cause them to feel neglected, possibly even causing them to look elsewhere for the attention and affection that we fail to give them.

Love your wife. Put her first. Treat her as God intends us to. And watch the love between you grow and flourish!

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-25-15

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!
