Ephesians 5:25
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her...
Proverbs 18:22
22 He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.
As husbands, we are giving something beautiful through the Lord. To have a wife is a blessing and even more so, to have a wife that loves God is greater. If having a wife is a great gift, why do so many husbands, including myself, neglect to show our wives that we care and appreciate them. If someone were to give me a check for $100, I wouldn't put my chewing gum in it or try to make origami shapes with it. I would invest it and take care of it.
The same is true with our wives. We should consider it a gift to wake up to her the next day, to share a conversation with her, to help in cleaning the house, to share a dinner with her, and so much more. Marriage is a beautiful pedestal or platform...our priorities as husbands should be to first of all glorify God and make sure he is sitting high on our platform of marriage. Secondly, our wives should follow to be given respect and honor...just as God designed it.
Christ gave himself up for everyone. He has given us an example to follow with our everyday lives.
We must humble ourselves, not daily, but down to every single second in order to be more like Christ.
