I am not in this season of life at this point. But should the Lord bless me with a wife, I want to love my wife as it states in the passage. Christ gave Himself up for us the Church, laid down His life selflessly. As a husband I will be called to do the same. It will not longer be about just me, there will be someone else to lead and love. Christ is the ultimate example of this. As the body Christ we also serve one another in love, to build one another up.
It is interesting how God uses marriage a reference to Christ and the church. Christ loved us and we are the His bride, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that we the church might be holy and without blemish, because of His work. And we anxiously and excitedly await His glorious return!
