Notes from "How to cherish and nourish your wife."

Ephesians 5:25, 28, 29
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her... In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.

So we are to cherish and nourish our wives, as Christ cherishes and nourishes the church.
