Husbands Are To Love Their Wives As Christ Loves The Church

 Christ gave Himself willingly for love of the Church (who is His Body) so that He could make her holy, cleansing her with the washing of water by the Word, and that in so doing He could present her to Himself in splendour, without spot or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and blameless in the sight of God.
 It was His sacrificial death that paid the price for the sin of the whole world, and it was His glorious Resurrection that enabled all those that believe on His name to be sanctified and made holy in Him. Love was His motivating factor, love for God and love for His Bride, the Church.  A precious parallel is drawn between the mystic union of Christ with His Church and the sacred union of a husband with his wife. Just as Christ loved the Church so much that He gave Himself for her, so husbands are called to love their wives in the same way.
 What a difference there would be in the Body of Christ today, if we were to apply all that is written in the Word of God in our own lives and marriages; wives are to submit to their own husbands and Husbands Are To Love Their Wives As Christ Loves The Church.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we want to be ones that carry out this truth in our own lives. Make us more like Christ, and teach us to love as He loves the Church. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
