Men, who are called to serve as husbands and fathers, I pray that you find these words and may the seeds be planted in the hearts of all men that will hear you. It was the destruction of the family that has destroyed this nation in the US and your virtue (Latin word meaning “to be a man.”) will break any sword.
You have the duty to serve, firstly your wife; yet, you do not know your role!
You are her Savior!
You are her Sanctifier!
You are her Satisfier!
Husbands love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church. Christ showed His love in SACRIFICE, SUFFERING and SUBSTITUTION.
Sacrificing for Your Wife by his command and example, He gave Himself up for The Holy Mother Church, The Bride of Christ! Your love should be cruciform-in the shape of a cross. It is NOT about wearing a crown and being King of our castle. He wore a crown of THORNS first and then the cross came before His glory! Is the sacrificial way you love your wife obvious in ANY way? Men love to rap, rap, rap about their love and sound SO impressive about how we are going to protect them and even die if need be. Who do you personally know anyone who has actually taken a bullet? Can you nail your desires and agenda to the cross and love our wives and meet her needs? The sacrifice has to go beyond words…she HAS to see you walk that walk!
To sanctify something is to set it apart from ordinary use for a special purpose. God takes ordinary objects and peoples and sanctifies them for His Glory. They are set apart from their past and unto the future He would wish for them. You made promises to your wife (or will) about her future, are you just parroting words? Again, the Bride of Christ, His Body, and The Church is disconnected from a past of sin and through His grace we are made obedient to His given law and will. The process of this transformation was manifested through His death and until you die to yourself and leave your worldly desires in the world you should be disconnected from, you are not the example that Christ gave; you are just talking a good talk! If a man does not work, he should not eat…seeing how Hollywood, the TV and the ‘street’ are the antithesis of the truth?
Satisfying the needs of your wife as Christ does for His Church is probably a little harder than any of us thought it would be. “C’mon, I had NO IDEA that she was THAT needy!” Well, you talked such a good game while you were trying to win her over…but, you did not realize that you were going to have to become a servant to learn how to become the leader. Christ washed the feet of His Apostles giving us the example to do as He has done. Do not wait around for your wives to serve you, set the example in your home by being the one who serves!

In my opinion, man has to be the " New Adam of his wife" , I mean: a Sweetheart, a Love, a Lover, a Beloved, a Companion, a Friend, a Best friend, a Boy-friend, a Bridegroom, a Husband and a Father (a Male), an Educator, a Teacher, a Professor, a Master, a Mentor, a Guide, a Helper, a Schoolboy, a Student and a Follower, a Doctor, a Nurse.

IN THE MATERIAL SPIRITUAL AND RELIGIOUS MEANING.
 
I personally prefer sonnets over rap when talking about my love for my wife. But to each his own.
 
Let’s hope that your wife just stays with you and stops loving those three principals.

Thank you for this. It perfectly illustrates the point I was trying to make in the other thread. Does anyone find anything strange or upsetting in this post? Anything out of the ordinary? Anything a bit exaggerated? This is merely an interpretation of the other half of St. Paul’s precepts for married couples.

St. Paul may have been using a metaphor. Or hyperbole - as still is Jewish religious custom. It’s quite a compelling ideal to ponder. But it’s difficult to seriously expect a literal interpretation (all husbands should die for their wives; all wives should submit to their husbands’ will) to be applied in everyday life.

Instead of interpreting it as hyperbole or metaphor, try getting out of the literary critique mindset. The Bible is a spiritual work and should be read with prayer to the Holy Spirit and in a spiritual frame of mind. The unusual language in that context then is not hyperbole, rather it is expressing a profound mystical reality. We are to die to ourselves and for others. While it may not always be literal, it must always be mystical.

How is this at odds with literary interpretation? Great works of literature also express profound mystical realities. They do so through metaphors, symbols, hyperboles, allegories, etc.

“Metaphor” is a metaphor for “a profound mystical reality”. Or vice versa. 😃
 
Yikes!!:eek: Jesus is everyone’s saviour. A husband is not his wife’s saviour.
