Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 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.
Most men don't know this scripture exists, much less apply it to their lives. But those that strive for the goal of giving our wives that seemingly unattainable love of Christ, know the blessings that this verse holds. Christ loved with a love mere humans cannot comprehend, nor duplicate. He gave us all of himself when he was here, and even more when he died. He was our teacher, and our protector, and ultimately our sacrifice, the greatest sacrifice. He gave us infinitely more than we deserve. And He only asked for our love in return. Now Christ has asked us men who have chosen to marry, to be this ultimate love for her. Wow, what an awesome charge. Are you up for the challenge? It will be forever, and it will be difficult. But the rewards will be great, on earth and in heaven. So what are you waiting for, Christ never said "maybe later". Your lady needs you now.

I am enjoying your blog.
I think that if the focus was taken off women to respect and submit to thier husbands and put on the husband to love their wives that this would prevent allot of abuse in marraige.
There are some men that would use the scripture to obtain whatever they desire. These men desrtroy their wives and break their spirits.
I beleive humility is a foundation of love. One that cannot humble himself and learn from others and even learn from his wife will never know love or recieve love in marraige.
