Reding passage:- Ephesians 5:22-33.

1. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
2. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
3. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
4. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
5. That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
6. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
7. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
8. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
9. For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
10. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
11. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
12. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

This chapter is majorly used when married couples are admonished on how to live in their homes. Wives are instructed to submit while husbands are asked to love (verse 22 & 25).
Paul used these points to illustrate what our relationship with the lord should be. When you submit yourself to the Lord in repentance and give up your will unto God,then you will partake in the love of God shared abroad for all mankind. This love of Jesus has showed us His love by giving His life for our sake and to making us holy,and cleaning us through the word of God for us to become unto God spotless and without blemishes (26 & 27).
Do you still have spot and wrinkles in your life after the sacrifice of Christ for us?

May God help us to submit every aspect of my life to you.
