Godly Encouragement for Daily Living
A PROMISE
“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother
and be joined to his wife,
and the two shall become one flesh.”
This is a great mystery,
but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Nevertheless let each one of you in particular
so love his own wife as himself,
and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
Ephesians 5:31–33
