Ephesians 5:22-33 - Paul's Advice To Wives And Husbands
22 let married women be submissive to their husbands, out of regard to the Lord. 23 for the husband presides over his wife, as Christ presides over the church: and he it is that preserves the whole body. 24 as the church then is subordinate to Christ, so let women be to their husbands upon all occasions. 25 You husband, love your spouse, even as Christ loved the church, and laid down his life for her: 26 to sanctify and purify her by the ablution of his word, 27 that he himself might make her appear illustrious to his own eye, a church without spot, or any thing like a defect; so as to be holy and irreprehensible. 28 in like manner ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies: "he that loves his wife, loveth himself." 29 no man was ever yet averse to his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as the Lord doth the church: 30 of which we are the several parts constituting his body.
31 the scripture says, "for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and they two shall be as one."
32 these words contain a very mystical sense, I mean in reference to Christ and the church. 33 wherefore let every one of you without exception, love his wife even as himself; and let the wife respect her husband.
