Ephesians 5:25 NET
Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her
Just as the Bible teaches wives to submit to their husbands as the Church submits to Christ, the husbands need to love their wives as Christ loves the church.
What is love? 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NET describes love according to the Bible as
Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up. It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful. It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Thus it is imperative that men are to be kind, patient, humble, calm, forebearing, enduring while hoping for the best of their wives. Men are to love God, love our neighbors, love our wives as ourselves, if not more than ourselves.
