I know of at least five marriages in my church that are struggling. One man recently told me how much this book helped in his marriage. I thought I would pass this information on in the hopes that it would also help your marriage. The author also has a neat web site, just follow this link:
5:18 And do not take overmuch wine by which one may be overcome, but be full of the Spirit;
5:19 Joining with one another in holy songs of praise and of the Spirit, using your voice in songs and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
5:20 Giving praise at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;
5:21 Letting yourselves be ruled by one another in the fear of Christ.
5:22 Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as of the Lord.
5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.
5:24 And as the church is under Christ's authority, so let wives be under the rule of their husbands in all things.
5:25 Husbands, have love for your wives, even as Christ had love for the church, and gave himself for it;
5:26 So that he might make it holy, having made it clean with the washing of water by the word,
5:27 And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.
5:28 Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself:
5:29 For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church;
5:30 Because we are parts of his body.
5:31 For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
5:32 This is a great secret: but my words are about Christ and the church.
5:33 But do you, everyone, have love for his wife, even as for himself; and let the wife see that she has respect for her husband.
