Marriage & Gender: The Loving Husband (Command, Commentary, and Caution)

God's eternal purposes and creation design of marriage and male/female differences are foundational to the health of the family, the church, the society. And they are rejected and under constant attack, to the doom of the family, the church, the society. So it is very important for us to study and review these foundational teachings from God's Word.

This sermon looks at the Command, Commentary and Caution given to the Husband in the Marriage. His Command is to love his wife as Christ loves His Church, with Ephesians 5:22-33 as the divine Commentary on this commanded love (love that is purifying, purposeful, providing, protecting, and possessive). His Caution is to guard against bitterness or harshness--again, with Christ as his example.
