The Love Nest (Ephesians 5:22-33)
Since tomorrow is February 14, Valentine’s Day, I would like us to reflect on a message of love – “The Love Nest”. There are three significant reasons why the Lord created marriage: 1. So that man may have a companion and the couple can take care of each other. 2. So that there will be godly offspring. 3. So that there will be a love nest. The home is a place of love. The most important relationship in a home is that of the husband and wife. If problems arise between the husband and wife, not only will it affect their relationship, it will also affect the parents and the children’s relationship. To establish a love nest, we have to go back to the basic relationship, the husband and wife relationship. The bible passage we just read tells us very clearly, husbands ought to love their wives, and wives are to submit to their husbands. This is very easy to say, but for a wife to submit to one’s husband is very difficult, and it is even more difficult for a husband to love his wife. It is definitely not as easy we think, but if we really hope to have a love nest, all of us must learn together as couples. Today, I would like to share this message not only to the married couples but also to everyone, because every Christian ought to learn love and submission.
