A Husband with Healthy Self-Love Will Display Such Love Toward His Wife: An Assessment

A Husband with Healthy Self-Love Will Display Such Love Toward His Wife: An Assessment

In Ephesians 5:28, we read, “So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.” Clearly there is a command here for the husband to love his wife—specifically, to agape-love his wife, or love her unconditionally. But does the writer, Paul, give us any tips on how a husband is to love his wife without condition? Yes, it’s right there in the same verse. He is to love his wife “as [his] own body.” He is to love her as he “loves himself.”

How Do We Parent unto Jesus Christ?

How Do We Parent unto Jesus Christ?

We read in the King James version of Matthew 25:40, “And the King shall answer and say unto them, ‘Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.’” As followers of Christ, we believe that the incentive for serving other people goes beyond meeting that person’s need.

A Tale of Two Marriages: His and Hers

A Tale of Two Marriages: His and Hers

Over the years researchers have asked identical questions of a husband and wife about identical issues but received two different replies. Why? Because in essence, there are two different marriages going on in every household: his marriage and her marriage. The husband sees an event through his blue lens, and the wife views that same event through her pink lens. Though they are observing the exact same event, their different lenses cause them to process and evaluate it in completely different ways: his blue way and her pink way.
