The
Head of the Family

But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the

is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man.
Husbands Love Your Wives

so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the
washing of water with the word,
Husbands Love Your Wives
as your own body
Ephesians 5:28-30
28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who
loves his wife loves himself.
29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but
nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church,
30 because we are members of his body.
Wives Submit To Your Husbands
As To The Lord, He is the Head of You
Ephesians 5:22
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband
is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his
body, and is himself its Savior.
24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in
everything to their husbands.

Introduction -
Friends, how can we love God (Jesus
Christ) if we do not know what love is,
if we do not have the slightest
understand of Gods definition of Love?
How my friends? Or what about loving our
neighbors our fellow mankind? How can we
truly love them if we do not have the
complete concept of love? If we love
God, do we sin against him without any
remorse, without any grief of our sins
against him?
