TEXT: Ephesians 5:22-33


22. Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands as to the Lord.


23. For a husband has authority over his wife just as Christ has authority over the church; and Christ is himself the Savior of the church, his body.


24. And so wives must submit themselves completely to their husbands just as the church submits itself to Christ.


25. Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it.


26. He did this to dedicate the church to God by his word, after making it clean by washing it in water,


27. in order to present the church to himself in all its beauty-pure and faultless, without spot or wrinkle or any other imperfection.


28. Men ought to love their wives just as they love their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself.


29. (None of us ever hate our own bodies. Instead, we feed them, and take care of them, just as Christ does the church;


30. for we are members of his body.)


31. As the scripture says, “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and unite with his wife, and the two will become one.”


32. There is a deep secret truth revealed in this scripture, which I understand as applying to Christ and the church.


33. But it also applies to you: every husband must love his wife as himself, and every wife must respect her husband.


(Good News Translation Holy Bible)


TOPIC: ONENESS IN MARRIAGE


Peter and Mary got married about fifteen years ago but their marriage has been everything but cordial. Mary has more time for her business than her family and Peter is involved in extra marital affairs.


They live like tenants in the same house and their love life has grown sour, which has affected their children negatively. For this kind of oneness Paul talked about to be a reality, the woman should respect her husband and take care her home while the husband should love his wife and be a faithful and caring husband.


Crosscheck your marriage against this passage and see whether the Lord is really happy with it.


QUESTION: What are you doing to make your spouse enjoy living with you in marriage?


PRAYER: Dear Father, please help me to do everything necessary to make my marriage a blessing, in Jesus name, Amen.

Remain Blessed
