Sacred MarriageEphesians 5:25
No. 31
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.Ephesians 5:25

Marriage is a sacred covenant that mirrors Christ's love for the Church. Just as Jesus sacrificed everything for us, we are called to sacrificial love. True marital love is patient, kind, and always seeks the other's good above our own comfort.

Reflect

What is one specific way you can choose sacrificial love toward your spouse — or future spouse — today?

Prayer

Lord, help me to love as You love the Church. Give me patience, kindness, and a servant's heart. Help our marriage reflect Your glory. Amen.
