If you want a great marriage, you\u2019ve got to work at it every day. The Bible gives us God\u2019s blueprint for one: \u2018Place yourselves under each other\u2019s authority out of respect for Christ. Wives, place yourselves under your husbands\u2019 authority as you have placed yourselves under the Lord\u2019s authority. The husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the Head of the church. It is His body, and He is its Saviour. As the church is under Christ\u2019s authority, so wives are under their husbands\u2019 authority in everything.<\/i><\/p>\n
Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave His life for it. He did this to make the church holy by cleansing it, washing it using water along with spoken words. Then He could present it to Himself as a glorious church, without any kind of stain or wrinkle-holy and without faults. So husbands must love their wives as they love their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself. No one ever hated his own body. Instead, he feeds and takes care of it, as Christ takes care of the church. We are parts of His body. That\u2019s why a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will be one. This is a great mystery. (I\u2019m talking about Christ\u2019s relationship to the church.) But every husband must love his wife as he loves himself, and wives should respect their husbands.\u2019<\/i> (Ephesians\u00a05:21\u201333\u00a0GWT) <\/p>\n
