Marriage is honourable in all and the bed is undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God
entered into by a man and or a woman, aside from their relationship with
Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is
the head

There are several items in this passage of scripture that I would like to take
a look at. First, the relationship that exists between husband and wife is
compared in all its aspects to that between Christ and His Church. Anyone at
any time that as EVER experienced Christ can testify that the relationship
that we share with our beloved Savior, is founded on the principle of LOVE.
Love in and of itself is an action word If you tell a person that you love him
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love
I chose the preceding verses, to emphasize the contrast of having love for
someone, and giving love to someone. People cannot benefit from love you
don't give. If you merely have love for me and never give love to me, I like
anyone who has ever been in that situation, feel a sense of confusion and
disillusionment. On one hand you boast of your love for me, but on the other
action. According to the word of God, the process of reciprocating love within
Any moderate study of the bible will reveal that God extended his love
toward us before we ever gave one thought to loving him. With this premise

reciprocation of love within their marriage. Now I know what many of you are

With this working knowledge of the reciprocating process, let's talk about the
profoundly tender passionate affection for a person of the opposite sex. In the

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life
KJV
As husbands we've been commanded to lay down our lives for our wives. It is
immature to think that we can deny our charge, and expect our wives to obey
their charge. There are certain things as a man that in order for there to be
peace in our home and in our marriage we have to lay down. It is a process of
self-denial and self-deprivation, but the benefit of laying it down is less of what
you want in change for more of what she (wife) wants to give you.
desire.
The word Eros is the derivative from where we get the word erotic or erotica.
Erotic - means to arouse or satisfy sexual desire. If you go back to the genesis,
you will see that we as humans were created to be sexual beings. We were
created to be aroused by our mate. and reciprocate that arousal back to them.
The perversion as it relates to sex becomes a factor, when you look at the
account of the fall of man. The very nature of man became sinful, which
means the sensual nature of man became sinful as well. What was once a
sacred act to be perfonned by a man and his wife, quickly became an act
perfonned by the married and unmarried alike. Sex is the ultimate fonn of

court; those close to you and those who don't know you. Your inner court is
your naked body, only your husband can see it. Your holies of holies would be
your womb, and only your priest (husband) can enter it! When your priest
does enter your holies of holies and begins to make passionate love to you,
the two of you should complement each other. Your bodies should move in
concert with each other: you crossing his "T's', and he dotting your "I’s". The

If what the bible says is true (and it is), then withholding sex from your
husband or wife is a sin. Not only is it a sin against God, but a sin against your
husband or wife as well. One of the joys of being married is making love
(having sex), without guilt. According to the word of God, in marriage, the bed
is undefiled. I believe that the love that resides in a husband for his wife (vice-

I've often wondered, what keeps a wife by her husband's side, when due to
health problems he's only a shadow of the man he was when she married
him. Or what keeps a husband with his wife when breast cancer has
disfigured her busty bosom; and left her physically embarrassed and
emotionally scared. What I've come to learn is that the same thing that

Agape Love. Simply put the word Agape means to love unconditionally. It is
no respecter of persons, things, or abilities. It is the notion to give all that you
have until such time as you are released from your giving. It is loyalty in
action. It is honesty in deed. Agape Love is the God kind of love. The bible
says:
The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have
Agape love will compel you to do things for your husband or wife, that you
were otherwise convinced not to do, or were too scared to explore. It will
compel you to change your mind, your attitude, or your emotions for the
greater good of your marriage. Agape love helps two souls to literally become
one. You begin to empathize with your husband (or wife), and he empathizes
with you. You seek to understand his (or her) spirit and are motivated to
jokes, eat her cooking, or watch a movie with your husband (or wife) that you
particularly don't care for. The bible is replete with instances where agape

KJV
Marriage God's way is a relationship where the husband loves his wife as
her husband as unto the Lord. Many women have issues with submission. All
that I will say regarding submission is that when a man is obedient to his
command to love his wife as Christ Loves the church and gave himself for it,
then that man is worthy to receive submission from his wife, as the church
