Ephesians 5:28-33

28So husbands also ought to 1love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;

29for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,

30because we are 2parts of His 3body.

314For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.

32This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.

33Nevertheless, as for you individually, each husband is to 5love his own wife the same as himself, and the wife must see to it that she 6respects her husband.
