A husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the Church:
giving Himself to cleanse and sanctify her,
loving her as His own body,
feeding and caring for her needs.
A wife is to submit to her husband as the Church submits to the Lord Jesus Christ:
willingly placing her desires under the leadership of her Head,
confident in His care and love for her.

I wrote this little paraphrase of Ephesians 5:22-33 for the program for our wedding. I was thinking about it this morning because Pastor Hamilton was dealing with the responsibilities of husbands and wives in light of the curse in Genesis 3:16-19.
