Love as Christ Loved the Church
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it (Ephesians 5:25).

Divine love in a marriage will heal the rough edges; it will remove the fuss, the grumbles and keep a couple from interacting like dogs and cats. Many marriages do not have enough love of God in them. The love of God can enable you to overcome the lacking part of human love. To have what God calls a perfect marriage, two people must be joined together in human love and in God’s love.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it (Ephesians 5:25). Some men cause needless conflict by insisting their wives obey them. The Bible does say the wife should obey her husband, but it also says a husband should love his wife as Christ loved the church and gave His life for it. When a man loves his wife like that, he doesn’t consider the question of who is or who is not the boss. The marriage is filled with harmony when love is used.
The man who loves his wife like Christ loved the church and gave His life for it is loving and giving, loving and giving. There are no grumbles, only love, love, love—God’s love as well as human love. That God–love in you purifies the human love and removes imperfections if you will allow it. You will love like Christ loved the Church. Some of you love your husband or wife with only human love. You became accustomed to living like that, and when you came to the Lord you didn’t use God’s love on your marriage. You used God’s love at church or on someone else but not on your marriage. Use God’s love on your marriage, on your children, your home. A home without God’s love needs to be redecorated, remodeled. You can make those changes; the love of God will help you, but you must have both human love and God’s love working.
Real human love and the love of God together are beautiful when human love is brought to that place of perfection in God the way it was in the Garden of Eden before the fall of man.
Unfortunately, since the fall, human love has been terribly contaminated by the enemy, by people giving their minds and hearts to Lucifer. Lack of love has caused countless broken homes, children to be needful and deserted. Mother and Daddy have gone astray, forgetting God, their children and each other; everything worthwhile they’ve turned their backs on. Lives and souls sold to the devil have only the love of God as their hope.
May God bless your marriage in Jesus name.
