For husbands

Gave Himself

A husband’s love is Christ’s pattern: he hands himself over for her good.

Four weeks on sacrificial love. Ephesians 5 is the spine: love her as Christ loved the church, nourish and cherish her, stay one flesh, and refuse bitterness.

2. 2Nourish and cherishHe does not only die for her once. He keeps her warm.
3. 3Bone of my boneShe is not your project. She is your own body.
4. 4Not bitterThe opposite of this love is not hatred only. It is a slow bitterness.
