The Role of the Husband and Wives



Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed O
ne)
. Wives, be subject (be submissive and adapt yourselves) to your own husbands as [a service] to the Lord.


For the husband is head of the wife as Christ is the Head of the church, Himself the Savior of [His] body. The church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her, So that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word,

That He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such things [that she might be holy and faultless].   Even so husbands should love their wives as [being in a sense] their own bodie  s. He who loves his own wife loves himself.  For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and carefully protects and cherishes it, as Christ does the church,  Because we are members (parts) of His body.


For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This mystery is very great, but I speak concerning [the relation of] Christ and the church.


However, let each man of you [without exception] love his wife as [being in a sense] his very own self; and let the wife see that she respects and reverences her husband ]that she notices him, regards him, honors him, prefers him, venerates, and esteems him; and [g]that she defers to him, praises him, and loves and admires him exceedingly]. [I Pet. 3:2.]  Ephesians 5:22-33AMP
