Husband, love your wife!

Husbands are told in Ephesians 5:25 to love their wives. Love, to be love, does not demand recompense or recognition, but gives by nature. Love that does not give of itself is not love. We give in love because we have received in love. All of us has received a love that is above all others. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever will believe in him would not be lost, but have eternal life.” When we recognize the greatness of the love we have received from God, we will be able to love others out of the overflow of the immensity of it. If we have never believed, we have never received, and our lives will be spent seeking in the wrong places a depth of love that only God can give. As husbands, we are meant to be lovers. And to be lovers, we must be givers, not takers.
