The Grace Files: Relationship U
04/19/09
Dr. Phil Wilkes, Ephesians 5:21-6:9
In this passage the Apostle Paul describes the relationship that exists between a husband and wife. The foundation for this relationship is Jesus Christ. When a husband and wife are both serving Christ then they no longer live selfish lives and become more concerned with serving their spouse. The Apostle says that husbands are to love their wives as Christ loves the church. Christ’s love led him to give up his life on the cross. When a husband is loving his wife unconditionally and meeting her needs then she is going to want to voluntarily submit and cooperate with her husband. Marriage can be transformed when Christ is the center and both husband and wife submit first to Jesus Christ as Lord.
