Husbands Need to Love Their Wives
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her
This morning, I want to speak to us husbands. Here is the clear command by our LORD given multiple times throughout scripture. Our wives greatest need is to be loved. This is humanities greatest need. We often try to go around this inadvertently by trying to fix her or something. We try to demonstrate our love by providing for her. There are a multiple things we do that are good but they are not fulfilling this command to love her.
This is an unconditional love only found in the example of Christ. The church, the bride of Christ, is so loved by God that He gave His only Son for her.
Our love for our wives is a love that will sacrifice our very own lives not if but when we must for her well being. Its a love that goes beyond asking her what she needs but doing it! Whatever time she needs. Whatever patience she needs. Whatever thing she loves to talk about that you don't, being interested in her every word. We have only succeeded if after the conversation is done, she feels & knows she is valued, respected, and the only woman adored.
This is a tall task men! This is an impossible command in of our abilities. This is why we must draw from Gods strength. The Holy Spirit will enable you to love your wives as Christ does. There is no second place trophies. There is no substitute. Providing external things instead of love to her will never satisfy the God craving in her life, to simply feel loved. This isnt her issue after the fall. It was wonderfully designed by God before she was created. You & I are to love our wives.
