A while back, I mentioned Eph 5:25-28 and focused on being washed in the Word. But I can't stop thinking about that passage.
It seems to me that there is more than one source of motivation for actually loving my wife as Christ loves the church.
The first reason is because Scripture says so... That is a sufficient reason in and of itself. The second reason is a bonus... It's the same reason husbands buy their wives lingerie.
So why would a healthy, well-adjusted husband go out of his way to shop in the most feminine store (or part there of)? Why would he take the time to find that perfect outfit that conceals what she doesn't like but still makes the most her beauty?
I'll tell you why this husband does it. It is a present to myself. Yes, she gets the outfit. She gets the adoring attention. But I get her, presented to me in splendor.

Guys, you are selfish.
Which is nothing new ;)
Hey now, everybody knows this is a win-win proposition.
Praise the Lord, indeed, and I don't say that to be funny...
hmmmm intersting way of putting it.

Refreshing, a healthy, well-adjusted husband for one; and one that will write such good stuff.
