START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Ephesians 5:25-28
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That 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. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
HUBANDS LOVE YOUR WIVES / EPHESIANS 5:25
Submission in the marriage relationship is not the attitude required only of wives (Ephesians 5:21). In fact, as the head of the home, the husband is to take the lead in submitting to and serving the best interests of his wife and children. He must help his wife fulfill her God-given roles at home, in the church and in all aspects of life. The fact that the husband is called to love his wife “just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her” is an extreme challenge. It is hardly possible for any human to love even Christ as much as He loves us, and yet the husband is charged with the responsibility of loving his wife in that way. Of course, this does not mean that we are to love any person over God, but rather that the husband is to follow Christ’s example of showing self-sacrificing love for his wife. In this way, the husband is actually called to a more extreme expression of submission and devotion than is the wife.
