Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary

spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin

and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.

All right, fellas, welcome back to day four on how to be a godly husband.

Today I want to talk about how do you love your wife?

And the answer is going to be, the Bible says, as your own body.

Again, we'll pick it up in verse 25 of Ephesians chapter five, husbands, love your wives,

as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her that he might sanctify her having cleansed her by the washing

of the water with the word so that he might present the church to himself in splendor without spot

or wrinkle or any such thing that she might be holy and without blimish. Now, if you're getting this thing right,

now nobody's getting it perfectly, but if you are a godly husband, if you are stepping in this

role that God has called you to and loving her like Christ loved the church, when you're getting

this right, she, your wife, should be thinking the best decision that I've ever made is marrying

that dude. You you see our job like

adam is to subdue and cultivate is to create the garden or the environment in which our wives

can be all that God has called her to be now a part of what that means is that we our job

is her sanctification having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word.

Now, does that mean that you are to primarily disciple your wife?

Well, her discipleship, the washing her and the water of the word, is your responsibility, but it might not be your duty.

But what this means is you do whatever it takes to make sure that she gets what she needs,

that she has put in the right environment to grow in her relationship with God.

Now, one of the things that you could do immediately is this.
