Paul summed up his teaching about Christian character in Ephesians 4:17-31 with this concluding statement: "Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God" (Ephesians 5:1-2).
Marriage provides you a daily opportunity to follow God's example in how you treat your husband as you love him and give up yourself in service and ministry to him.

A very excellent article, to be read by all! Yet, the sad thing is that most pulpits do little to save the traditional Biblical home! Our Christians Institutions of learning likewise! Just take a good look at how ladies, especially young ladies appear in Church almost half naked! This Biblical Education must even start in Kindergarten where young boys become Christian Gentlemen and girls ladies that really respect such and the younger the better!

Thank you for your articles and especially for this timely one on marriage. If only more churches would offer continuous support of the family as God designed it, and preach more on honoring God in our marriages.
