How to Love Your Wife

Scripture Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,

Observation: Can you imagine what this world would be like if each man loved his wife the way God has called us to? No More domestic violence, families would be strong and godly, no marital fights and each wife would be loved the way they should be. Obviously looking at the world this is far from being done and instead of loving our wives as we should we use them as a reason our lives aren’t going well and abuse or ignore them. Can you imagine if Jesus loved us the way some of us love our wives, what a disaster that would be.

Application: Realize that my wife is a blessing from God and His daughter. Love her the way that I want Jesus to love me. I need to obey God in being the husband He desires me to be, before I do anything else for His glory.

Prayer My Lord strengthen me to be the husband that would please you. Give me patience and wisdom to treat my wife the way she deserves to be treated. I know I can’t be a godly man if I’m not a godly husband, please help me to honor You.
