The Relationship Between Husband And Wife Is An Image Of The Relationship Between Christ And His Church

   EPHESIANS 5:22-33 (KJV)


                   Husband And Wife: Christ and His Church
                                      
   22
          Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the
          Lord.
   23
          For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the
          head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
   24
          Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the
          wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
   25
          Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the
          church, and gave himself for it;
   26
          That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water
          by the word,
   27
          That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not
          having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should
          be holy and without blemish.
   28
          So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that
          loveth his wife loveth himself.
   29
          For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and
          cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
   30
          For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
   31
          For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and
          shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
   32
          This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the
          church.
   33
          Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his
          wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her
          husband.

May the Lord bless this presentation of His holy Word.
