...YOU ARE HAVING MARITAL PROBLEMS
Genesis
Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his
wife:and they shall be one flesh.
Ephesians 5:21-33
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit
yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the
head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the
Saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the
wives be to their own husband in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even
as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might
sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. That he might
present it to himself as glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any
such things; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to
love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourished and cherisheth it, even
as the Lord the church: For we are member of his body, of his flesh, and of his
bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be
joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery:
but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let everyone of you
in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she
reverence her husband.
