Six Ways to Love Your Wife

Weekend Bible Study

Our Key Study Passage compares the husband’s leadership in the home to Christ’s leadership in the church. It’s a heavy comparison. And in certain church and theological circles, it’s a controversial comparison. It’s also an easily twisted comparison used by men to smugly and sometimes abusively claim authority over their wives. But no matter how you and your church interpret this passage, one thing is certain: If a husband seeks to be like Christ in the home, his love for his wife and children will be expressed through both service (Luke 22:26) and sacrifice (Eph. 5:25).

Key Study Passage:
Ephesians 5:21-32

Why is it important to carefully and slowly read verse 21 before moving on to verse 22?
What do you think it means to “love your wife as Christ loved the church” (v. 25)? What are practical ways to demonstrate this kind of love?
According to verses 28 and 29, why should a husband love his wife as much as he loves his own body?
For deeper insights into Ephesians 5:21-32, consult a study Bible. Some options: NLT Study Bible, NIV Life Application Study Bible, or the NIV Quest Study Bible.

Spend Time in Prayer: Ask God to help you understand how to apply Ephesians 5:21-32 to your marriage; express your desire to love your spouse more deeply; close by thanking God for your wife, naming specific traits you appreciate about her.
