Husbands loving their wives as Christ Loved The Church

In practical terms that looks like a guy who strives to consider his wife's happiness before his own. 24-7. Sound like the first choice of any guys you know? Of course not. Any guy who really walks the talk is constantly thinking of his wife before himself. Do I do that successfully all the time? Probably not, but I submit myself to Christ and ask for his assistance in being the husband I'm called to be. Just as likely that my wife must constantly pray for a submissive spirit when it isn't her first natural inclination.

I wouldn't want to be thought of 24/7. I wouldn't want someone sacrificing themselves all the time for my happinesss. That reeks of stalker mentality.

Glad I'm Jewish.
