The Bible says in Ephesians 5:25, “Husbands, love your wives even as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for it.”

Joyce knows that she is number one of all the people on the face of this earth. In my life, she is number one. And I know beyond the shadow of any doubt that I am number one in Joyce’s life. That gives me a sense of security to think that of all of the people who live today or who have ever lived, there is one person who loves me more than any other person on the face of the earth.

Therefore, I need to treat her as Christ treated the church—that Jesus gave Himself for the church.
