We find clear instructions in the New Testament for what should be the God-ordained relationship between husbands and wives. We need to look at Paul's letter to the Ephesians in Chapter 5 where we find that husbands are told to love their wives as 'Christ loved the church.' That was by giving himself for the church in selfless sacrifice and service. In Verse 28, Paul goes on to teach that husbands are to love their wives 'as their own bodies', to love them as they love themselves. 'After all, no-one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the Church' (Verse 29). Wow, this is some standard for a man to meet! I ask, how a Christian man who takes this teaching seriously, cannot but accept that God expects from him diligent and selfless service to his wife, putting her needs and interests first and caring for her with the same love and devotion with which he looks after himself.
