Nourishing & Cherishing Her

The last time that we had a study together I said to you that a loving husband often thinks upon his wife; how precious she is to him. He thinks about how He can lovingly encourage her. He thinks of how he can teach her by his own example, what it means to follow Christ closely. In these verses we are taken a step farther by the apostle Paul. We see here, 1st – That a husband ought to love his own wife as his own body. We see, 2nd – That he should nourish and cherish her flesh, just as the Lord does the church. Let's delve into these things for a few minutes, praying that we will gain much from these words.
