Commitment To Marriage

Being marriage means being fully committed to your
husband as to the Lord. Look at Ephesians 5:22 it says Wives, submit to your
husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ
is the head of the church, his body of which he is Savior. Now as the church
submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in
everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and
gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with
water though the word, and present her to himself as a radiant church
without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In
the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who
loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but
he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church—for we are members
of his body. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother an be
united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.

This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.
However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and
the wife must respect her husband.
Let’s look at 1Peter 3:1 it says Wives, in the same way be submissive to
your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be
won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the
purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward
adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and find
clothes.
Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a
gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is
the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make
themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, like
Sarah. Who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters
if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and
treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the
gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
Love Always,
Your Sister in Christ
