Ephesians 5:24, 28-29 | As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything…. In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself. No one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ cares for the church. (NLT)
