Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her . . . He died so that he could give the church to himself as a Bride in all her beauty . . . In the same way, husbands should love their wives as they love their own bodies . . . No one ever hates his own body, but feeds and takes care of it. And that is what Christ does for his church, his body. The Scripture says, “a man is united with his wife, and the two become one body.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church! So each husband must love his wife as he loves himself, and each wife must respect her husband.
Ephesians 5:25-33
