While you’re thinking on that, try thinking on this...
Eph 5:22-24 - “Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.”
And...
Ephesians 5:33 - “However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.”
For some reason, my wife doesn’t want me to love her as I love myself. She wants me to love her as she loves herself. That’s a huge difference but it is never taught.
The feminization of the Church has brought the whole ‘name it and claim it’ and ‘beam me up’ theology in because the Church is trying to define how Christ will ‘love’ her rather than accept the same suffering and persecution that Christ accepted. Doesn’t work in an earthly marriage and doesn’t work in a heavenly one either.
What on earth are you trying to say? I’ll try to answer though.
There is nothing wrong and everything right with what those verses say.
Whether she wants you to love her as SHE loves herself, IF you are a Christian, the word says to love her as yourself. Her wishes are moot. It wasn’t taught because it isn’t correct.
I am somewhat confused by the last paragraph
