Living By the Book: God’s Will for Husbands

In Ephesians 5, Paul charges husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the Church. Husbands are called to love their wives with the goal of presenting them holy to Christ in the last day. It would be impossible for husbands to act like Christ in their own strength alone. Rather than trying harder, husbands need to look to Christ for the strength to follow in his footsteps and place the needs of their wives above their own needs.
