MARRIAGE: Obedience

Posted by Oracle C.T. Webb January 13, 2013 - # - 922 views

Ephesians admonishes husbands to love their wives as Christ loved his people as well as how a man loves his own body. Jesus loved his people so much that he sacrificed his life. Men ought to love their wives with the same intense love.
The relationship between Jesus and the church mirrors the relationship he wants between husbands and wives. How did Jesus love the church? He sacrificed and served out of love and a passion to please God. He also protected the church and took time to teach and pray as well. If your aim is to please God and be obedient to him, you’re more likely to have a more fulfilling and long lasting marriage.
