Ephesians 5:25-33
[25]Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,
[26]so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
[27]that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.
[28]So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;
[29]for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,
[30]because we are members of His body.
[31]For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.
[32]This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.
[33]Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.
