Everybody gets served!

The Apostle Paul encourages believers to submit to one another, in love. In Ephesians 5, Paul gives us the divine correlation between Christ's devotion to His church (His bride) and husbands to their wives. When we study the awesome design, we realize that when we do things God's way, everybody is served!

"...husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man is actually loving himself when he loves his wife. No one hates his own body but lovingly cares for it, just as Christ cares for his body, which is the church. And we are his body. As the Scriptures say, 'A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.' This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one. So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband." Ephesians 5:28-33 NLT
