Can We Love Too Much?

1
Can We Love Too Much?
READ Ephesians 522-33
2
The apostle Paul suggested that the primary
responsibility for fostering love in the marriage
is up to the husband.
He must show his wife that he deserves her trust
and devotion. No one wants to submit to a tyrant
or be controlled by a dictator, Eph. 5 doesnt
ask a woman to do that.
3
In these verses the husband is told 3 times that
his major task is to express Christlike love to
his wife.
A husbands actions should be sincere and not
mechanical. He should pattern his actions after
Christs love for the Church, and then the wife
can respond and fulfill her role in the marriage.
4
The word love in Eph.528 doesnt refer merely
to Romanic affection, but to the highest
relationship possible.
A wife should be more than a mere trophy hanging
on his wall of fame. This relationship involves
commitment, sacrifice, and even a willingness to
die for the one loved.
5
How many broken hearts and homes would be
prevented if men would begin to demonstrate
Christlike love in the way they treat their wives.
Remember Wives are the responders.
6
We can never show too much of His kind of love!
A successful marriage requires a falling in love
many timesbut always with the same person.
7
Can you honestly say you love your wife as much
as Christ loves the Church?
Every tender act of love expressed toward your
partner is proper and spiritual.
