Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
For no one ever hates his own body, but he nourishes and tenderly cares for it, just as Christ does for the church,
“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
Each of you, however, should love his wife as himself, and a wife should respect her husband.
Husbands, in the same way, show consideration for your wives in your life together, paying honor to the woman as the weaker sex, since they too are also heirs of the gracious gift of life—so that nothing may hinder your prayers.
