It has been said for some time now that the divorce rate is over fifty percent. Sadly though, this is even true in christian households. Divorce, while sometimes necessary, is not how things are meant to be. While there is no simple solution in the worlds eyes, Paul twice offers a simple yet true suggestion that would go a long way in helping to at least lower the divorce rate in christian hous...eholds. Twice he admonished christian men to love their wives just as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25) and not to be bitter toward them (Colossians 3:19). Christ gave every thing for the church and that is how we are to love our wives. We are to love them without condition and without holding anything back. And secondly we are to always forgive.
Husbands, tonight I challenge to look at how you love your wife. Are you loving her just as Jesus loves you or are you loving her because of what she does for you? Do you meant it when you say you love her or are you just going through the motions? Men, your wives are your life-long partner not just a helper or a mother to your children. You are commanded in the word of God and by the vows you took to love her. Be the man you are meant to be. Be the husband God commands you to be.
