Husbands Love Your Wives

40 to 50% of all marriages in the US end in divorce, making the US have the 6th highest divorce rate in the world. Why are so many marriages failing? Why does it matter? Not only does such a high divorce rate affect millions of families and children, but Jesus declared, “So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” Shouldn’t we work towards figuring out why the divorce rate is so high if marriage makes a couple one? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the key to a loving, successful marriage in his Valentine’s Day message, Husbands Love Your Wives.

Ephesians 5:22–33

Husbands Love Your Wives

1 Now when Jesus had finished these sayings, he went away from Galilee and entered the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. And large crowds followed him, and he healed them there. And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one’s wife for any cause?” He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” They said to him, “Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?” He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”

Matthew 19:1-9

22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, His body, and is Himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. 25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her, 26 that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that He might present the church to Himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Ephesians 5:22-33

Love

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8a Love never ends.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8a

Summary

In order to protect your relationship, you have to fight for your relationship. You have to decide that no matter what happens, divorce is NOT an option. You have to fight for your relationship if you want to keep it. Love is an action. Live your life as if you can’t live without your significant other.
