Read Ephesians 5:22-33
Previously we looked at the role of the wife in the marriage relationship. Today we will begin to look at the husband’s role which Paul really expounds on in this passage. The first role that Paul points out is that husbands are to love their wives. But he does not stop there; he goes on to describe this love. Husbands are to love there wives as Christ loved the church and gave His life for the church. Christ gave everything He had, including His life, for the sake of the church. This is the standard that Paul gives for husbands in loving their wives. This love is not based on what the husband gets out of the relationship but rather what he can give to the relationship. Sacrificial love puts the needs of the other before your own. If a husband wants to be a good leader he needs to learn to be a great lover. First a lover of God and second a lover of his wife.
Father help guys to see the importance of love in their relationships. Help guys to begin even now to sacrificially love others in every relationship they have.
