He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

  7. Savior: cont. • Ephesians 5:29 • For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: • Ephesians 5:30 • For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. • Ephesians 5:31 • 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. • Ephesians 5:32 • This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. • Ephesians 5:33 • Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. • (KJV)

  8. Husbands: three Savior Principles • Sacrifice • Discuss sacrifice • Exercise: (Wife: write down a list of of sacrifices your husband has made to because of your needs and or desires

  9. Principle Two: Suffering for your wife • Suffering: • Biblical love is generated by the need of the person being loved, not necessarily the feelings or wishes of the one doing the loving. • Matthew 26:39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

  10. Principle Three: substituting for your wife • Christ substituted His right for our wrong! • Often men feel they are right because of the way we think. Simple & Positional. We tend to come to conclusion based on facts and figures which make logical sense; • Wives think differently. • Substituting means taking the “I’m wrong” approach when your consious mind say you are right! Christ substitute His sinlessness for our sin!

Sanctifier: • Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, • Ephesians 5:27 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. • Sanctification is the term used that describes the process of Christian growth from the moment we are saved until we get to Heaven; to sanctify your wife you must set her apart to be HOLY; this require spiritual leadership. He must be his wife's pastor!

  12. Principle three: Satisfier • Ephesians 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife lovethhimself. • Meeting her needs • While dating , did you meet the need? • Did you discover after marriage “she was more needy” ? • Ephesians 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: • Words of affirmation • Studying what she likes or doesn’t like • Quality time • Giving gifts • Acts of service • Physical Touch
