LOVE YOUR WIFE
Ephesians 5:25-28
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.
Personal Challenge
As husbands, our first priority in life is to love our God. The next priority, which should be above all others is to love our wife. If we truly believe the teachings of our Lord that when we marry we become one flesh, then it is imperative that we love our wives as we love ourselves. It always amazes me when I meet men who proclaim to be godly, righteous men all the while leaving their wife to practice their Christian faith at a separate church. How does one separate the one flesh into two separate faith practices without harming the other. It is our responsibility as husbands to love our wives as Christ loved the church and gave up himself for her. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
