My soul clings to you,Your right hand upholds me.
The Bible compares the love and admiration and romance of marriage to the bond that that Christ and the Church have. “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— for we are members of his body.”
Husbands, learn to love your wife well. What does the scripture say, “We love, because He first loved us.” Husbands, love your wife as Christ loved you and enabled you to love Him. Lay down your life for her, love her with the word, be gentle washing her as something that is cherished, a precious jewel, bringing out her beauty.
Husbands, it is for us to love and to love first and to love well. May God help us to do so.
