Husbands are given a great commission; they are instructed to love their wives like Christ loved us. Jesus devoted His life, always serving and giving, to us. He gave His life sacrificially so that we can have relationship with God. It is easy for a wife to submit to her husband when he is a godly man who hears from and submits to God. So, husbands, your first priority is to God, and allowing God to show you how to best love your wives.
Men: Be a man who submits to God and marry a woman who submits to God, because then she will submit to you. If she won’t listen to God, she won’t submit to you.
Husbands: Pray that both you and your wives submit yourselves to and are led by God in everything.
Ephesians 5:25-33 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 or 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. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
