Ephesians 5:25-27

“25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”

Husbands, how much do you love your wife? Do you love her enough to give everything for her? Would you give your life if it were required, for her? Are you doing all that is required by our Lord for her?

As husbands we must follow the commandments of our Lord. When it comes to our marriage, our wife is to be our number two in this life following only our Lord who must obviously be number one. No other person or persons in this life can change that order of ranking. As the Church is to Christ, so must our wife be to us. Christ and His bride are to be the example of how we are to be in our marriages. Not the world. Not worldly thought our advice. We hear so much about books and videos and seminars for marriage counseling from the world and from so called Christian counselors. For the most part these are lacking when it comes to Biblical based advice.

When it comes to our marriages, stay close to God's Word. Follow not the world. Forget what we see in movies and television. Be careful of those who claim the name of Christ but refer to the world and the world's ways when it comes to marriage. Follow the example of Christ and His bride.

Praise ye the Lord!!!
