Ephesians 5:25–33: Love Like Christ Gave Himself
True love in marriage is not measured by feeling or cultural expectation but by Christ, who gave himself up for his people. Ephesians 5:25–33 grounds a husband's love in that sacrifice and reveals the mystery underneath every marriage.
Ephesians 5:22–33: Marriage as a Gospel Picture
Christian marriage is meant to display Christ's self-giving love, not to decorate an ordinary home with religious language. Paul measures both spouses against Christ himself, and a husband's headship is defined by sacrifice, never by coercion.
