Out of respect for Christ, be courteously reverent to one another.
Wives, understand and support your husbands in ways that show your support for Christ. The husband provides leadership to his wife the way Christ does to his church, not by domineering but by cherishing. So just as the church submits to Christ as he exercises such leadership, wives should likewise submit to their husbands. Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church—a love marked by giving, not getting. Christ’s love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything he does and says is designed to bring the best out of her, dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness. And that is how husbands ought to love their wives. They’re really doing themselves a favor—since they’re already “one” in marriage. (Ephesians 5:21-28 The Message Bible)
Love . . . respect . . . sacrifice . . . serve . . . committed . . .these are the five keys to marriage. Though we have had our ups and downs over the past twenty-five years . . . a a few intense fellowship moments . . . God has graced us with a life together. Four children, seven grandchildren, a ministry of serving thousands including over sixty within our home . . . all God and God alone.
All we said was, "I do" and God did
Happy 25th anniversary baby!!!
