Based on Ephesians 5:25–33, this study explores the husband’s role in a Spirit-filled marriage. It commands husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the Church, giving himself up for her. This is a call to a selfless, sacrificial love that prioritizes the wife’s well-being and spiritual growth above all else. The husband’s love is intended to sanctify his wife through the Word. The study also emphasizes that because the husband and wife are “one flesh,” a husband’s love for his wife is a love for himself. It discusses the practical outworking of this love, including living with her in an understanding way, honoring her, and protecting her.
