MY PRINCE

EPHESIANS 5:22-33

People around the world reacted with shock in September 2006 when news broke that Stever Irwin, the "Crocodile Hunter," had died. His enthusiasm for life and for God's creatures was contagious, making him a favorite personality worldwide.

When his wife Terri was interviewed shortly after Steve's death, her love for him was obvious as she said through her tears, "I've lost my prince." What an affectionate way to memorialize her husband! She saw him as her prince and her best friend.

The husband-wife relationship is often viewed today as anything but the tender one Terri and Steve must have shared. We see bitterness, insults, and animosity presented in the media as the norm. How much more desirable it is to see true love--to see a husband unashamedly cherish his wife, to unselfishly be her "prince."

How can a husband continue to love his wife in a more princely way? Try these suggestions: Listen--enjoy those tender times when she can unburden her heart without fear. Love life--find ways to add fun to your marriage. Lead spiritually--guide the way into prayer and intimate fellowship with the Lord.

Men, be a prince to your princess. __Dave Branon

Marriage thrives in a climate of love and respect.

*************Today's Bible Reading __ Ephesians 5:22-33***********

32 Wives, submit to your
own husbands, as to the
Lord. 23 For the husband is
head of the wife, as also
Christ is head of the church;
and He is the Savior of the
body. 24 Therefore, just as
the church is subject to
Christ, so let the wives be
to their own husbands in
everyting.

25 Husbands, love your
wives, just as Christ also
loved the chruch and gave
Himself for her, 26 that He
might sanctify and cleanse
her with the washing of
water by the word, 27 that
He might present her to
Himself a glorious church,
not having spot or wrinkle
or any such thing, but that
she should be holy and
without blemish. 28 So
husbands ought to love their
own 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 the Lord
does the church, 30 For we
are members of His body,
of His flesh and of His
bones, 31 "For this reason a
man shall leave his father
and mother and be joined to
his wife, and the two shall
become one flesh." 32 This
is a great mystery, but
I speak concerning
Christ and the church.

33 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.

Paul's concern for the strength of Christian homes is seen in today's
Bible reading. His marriage counsel was repeated in briefer form
in Colossians 3:18-19, where he said, "Wives, submit to your own
husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do
not be bitter toward them." Notice the warning against bitterness
and its destructive force in relationships. __WEC
