beriana02 View Profile History	How to love your Future Wife as Christ loved the church? Posted : 6 Oct, 2025 04:55 AM To "love your wife as Christ loved the church" means to love her with a sacrificial, selfless, and purifying love that leads to her holiness and spiritual growth. This involves husbands giving themselves up for their wives, cherishing them, serving them with kindness, nourishing them spiritually and emotionally, and ultimately presenting them to God in perfection. Key Aspects of this Love Sacrifice: Like Christ gave His life for the church, husbands are called to make sacrificial efforts for their wives, putting her needs and well-being before their own. Purification and Nurturing: Christ loved the church by cleansing and sanctifying her, so husbands should help their wives grow in holiness, guiding her towards righteousness and spiritual perfection. Selflessness and Devotion: This love is not about self-seeking pleasure but about a deep, unwavering devotion and commitment to the wife's total good. Service and Care: Husbands should serve their wives by actively caring for their needs, attending to their emotional lives, and providing support. Growth and Presentation to God: A purposeful husband will focus on the long-term goal of presenting his wife to God as a radiant, blameless individual, full of splendor. Practical Application for Husbands Know Her Deeply: Pay attention to her hopes, fears, and dreams to understand her emotional life and connect with her heart. Be Present and Engaged: Make time for her, listen to her, and speak kindly about her so she feels safe and loved. Offer Sacrifice: Be willing to give up things for her, whether it's personal comfort, pride, or ego. Lead and Nurture Spiritual Growth: Provide a godly example and guide her in her walk with God, much like Christ does for the church. Cherish Her as You Cherish Yourself: Love your wife as your own body, feeding and caring for her as you would your own flesh. Are Modern Godly Men nowadays still willing to do all these? Or just the Traditional Men? Post Reply

They didn't have modern ceremonial "bride's maids." Some virgins would have their own maidservant, which was a slave and also became the property of the bridegroom, like Leah and Rachael each had a slave. They were called maidservants. But the parable that Jesus gave was not a parable about maidservants of the virgins the bridegroom was to take into his chambers in the middle of the night.... that's just silly Post Reply

A majority of believers do not. No, it's not silly, and a moot point at this time. Maybe focus on getting that first wife and revisit. Post Reply

Posted : 9 Nov, 2025 10:17 AM As is most common among people that get triggered with cognitive dissonance when the truth challenges their heart's inclinations, you jumped to an EXTREMELY FALSE CONCLUSION. There are no private interpretations of any of the prophecies of the scriptures, because the words of God did not come from man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. I do not want multiple wives. That is a false conclusion, a LIE and a false witness all wrapped up into one sentence. That's very efficient of you, Jezzie. That's actually the most common false assumption that women make when someone points out that biblically speaking, a man is permitted to have multiple living wives. The lack of logic is inconceivable to me that anyone would make an assumption of the intent of someone's heart merely because they present information that they don't want to believe. Maybe the reason I cannot relate to that is because I've learned that unless someone either states their intent or motive, or the Lord reveals it, there's no way for me to know. God says that the heart is above all deceitful and desperately wicked, who can know it? It is like deep water (think the deepest part of the ocean) but God searches and tries the reigns of the heart. You really do show yourself to be in extreme opposition with sound understanding of the holy scriptures and doctrine. Have you ever found mercy through Jesus Christ? Do you ever read the scriptures, like the whole Bible? If so, have you never considered that the things we read of God's words are in direct conflict with MANY of the things that we are taught, both in this world and in churchianity? Post Reply

When we believe something that is in direct contradiction with what God's words say, guess who's wrong? I'll give you two guesses.. One big reason that there's so many flavors of churchianity today is because people don't like what God says, they heap unto themselves teachers, having itching ears and turn away from the truth and are turned unto fables. That's one of the prophecies of these last days. Why do you suppose people would turn away from the truth? Do you think that it might be because they don't like the truth? They don't want to believe the truth? "Itching ears'" is a clue. Read the Holy Bible (King James Version for English speaking people). Post Reply

And thank you for the way you presented it. It was not in my view, biased, attacking, or judgemental, but simple facts for us all to consider,both male and female, and I appreciate that. May God bless you and I pray that if it's the desire of your heart to find such a man, that God will provide you with one in accordance with his perfect will for you. In the mean time may God bless you, keep you, lead you and comfort you in life's journey. Thankyou again for your thoughts on the matter. Post Reply

In a good marriage the Man Leader knows how to treat his Wife. It is not about being a Boss. Boss is a Wordly term. Seek a Man who knows how to treat women for a Partner. Post Reply
