The 5th chapter of Ephesians talks about relationships. Some people are offended by it today. The words tell a woman to respect her husband, and it tells a husband to love his wife more than his own body. The word tells a husband to love her the way Christ loves the church. Jesus gave his energy, his time, his love, and finally his life to the church. God made us all, and so He's the expert on who we are and what makes us run. Women use love as a fuel and we need it to be at our best. Men use respect as a fuel. It helps them to function out in a dog eat dog world. It gives them strength and power, which when added to the harmone testosterone, creates an almost invincible man who will do anything for the woman who is feeding him with a continuous dosage of respect. I once saw something my daughter put on her Facebook page. "She is his heart, he is her shield". It's a beautiful description of what God intended. The word doesn't say only give love and respect when it is earned. It's fuel. Without gas would your car run? At what point would a vehicle earn gas? It's just necessary. Fuel makes a transportation vehicle function and that helps you. SO - wives respect your husbands. Husbands, love your wives.
