How to divorce proof your marriage
Husbands, your wife is not always going to be lovable. Love her anyway. As Christ loves the Church, your calling is to love your wife—even when it feels like she’s putting you on a cross.
Wives, respect your husbands even when they’re not acting respectable. Because guess what—sometimes we’re kind of idiots. We do dumb things.
Now, this does not mean that if there is abuse or full-on neglect you just continue in the same song and dance. I’m not saying that at all. I’m talking about the majority of healthy couples. If you learn to respect your husband when he’s not respectable, and husbands learn to love your wives when they’re not being lovable, you will look like Jesus. This is the biblical model.
Wives, respect your husbands. Husbands, lay down your lives for your wives and love them as Christ loves the Church. Ephesians 5. It’s very simple—and very difficult. Why? Because we’re sinners. We’re self‑motivated, self‑focused, and self‑centered.
But when you crucify your flesh and realize that a cord of three strands is not easily broken, when you become one, that means a divine death has taken place. Your former self has died, and now you are united with Christ together—one flesh at the foot of the cross.
You’re going to live a beautiful life. Because guess what—wives, your husband is your own body. He has needs. Meet those needs if it’s a healthy relationship. Husbands, the same goes for you. Put down the remote, stop scrolling, and look your wife in the eyes—look at her heart.
You will have a beautiful marriage when you simply do what Jesus did, who did not consider equality with God something to cling to, but made Himself a servant to imperfect people. That is the call of the Christian.
