Ephesians 5: 22-28
hey all you bloggers out there! Just be checking in, letting y'all know I'm still alive!
Power is something a lot of people struggle with isn’t it?
At the bible study I attend regularly, we discussed in passing, the significance of man being the head of the house as Jesus is the head of the church. It would appear that some women don’t like the thought of man having any authority over them, in any way shape or form. I on the other hand, like the idea of having man have authority over me, as Christ has over the church.
“ Wives submit to you own husbands, so to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Saviour of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husband in everything. Husbands, love your wives just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot r wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.”
I feel I need to add in the last part of this sentence, because so many women assume that when you submit to your husband, giving him his right place in the home, means to let your husband walk all over you. That’s not true at all. Women, men who abuse their position in the home, are out there, I’m not going to deny it…but if you marry the person God has for you, then I have faith, that this wouldn’t happen.
Husbands love your wives as Christ loves the church…who what not want that? Honestly, what woman out there would not want to be loved like that? Isn’t that exciting when you think about it like that? That one human out there will love you as Christ loves the church. Wow…where do I sign up? Wives submit to your husbands, as to the Lord…that’s going to be some task, I doubt it will always be easy. But hey…that’s part of the fun isn’t it? Marriage is not a smooth operation people, it will have it’s up’s and down’s, as anything relationship does.
But with God all things are possible. Just because tow people disagree on something small, it doesn’t mean that they don’t love each other anymore…marriage is all about compromise. I can’t sit here and tell you everything about marriage, because I’m single. I don’t know much about married life…but it’s something I look forward too…that’s for sure.
peace

The union between husband and wife is to last until death (Matthew 19:6 sq.; Luke 16:18; Mark 10:11; 1 Corinthians 7:10;
Christian marriage means the marriage of Christians; the union of a man and woman who believe in God, who acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, who join in the worship, the sacraments, and the fellowship of the Church.
The above are quotations and their every meaning is a true portrayal of marriage and of mututal respect, of love and of unity.
I am of the belief that marriage is for life and that if I was married and my wife died earlier - my marriage would still remain - as would be the wedding ring - that would remain forever on my finger - for marriage is for life.
