Ephesians 5:25
Even as Christ loved the church - Here is the true model of conjugal affection. With this kind of affection, with this degree of it, and to this end, should husbands love their wives.
23 For athe husband is head of the wife, as also bChrist is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.
24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands ain everything.
25 aHusbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and bgave Himself for her,
26 that He might1 sanctify and cleanse her awith the washing of water bby the word,
27 athat He might present her to Himself a glorious church, bnot having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.
28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.
