husbands

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.

Ephesians 5:25-33

Happy anniversary to my absolutely phenomenal mom and dad in-law!

We could not have asked for better role models for our own marriage, than that of my husband’s parents, they truly have a Godly marriage.

You see, according to the Bible, there is sacrificial love in a husband’s purpose and purpose in their sacrifice.

Husbands give up themselves to love their wives.

Jesus is our example here, and He gave up everything.

His purpose?

To make us holy and beautiful to God.

Husbands, your motives are to be equally as sacrificial and pure in surrendering your rights to bless and love your wives.

Husbands are also to submit, but this does not mean spinelessness, it means service and sacrifice to bless and bring glory to Christ.

I have watched my father-in-law lead his wife and his family for the past 20 + years, and his leadership is inspiring.

Thank you, Dad, for being faithful to God.

Have a blessed day!
