Episode Synopsis

A godly husband is, in essence, a man who has learned Christ sufficiently to follow the Lord in his sacrificial love, loving his own wife just as Christ loved the church. Such love has a purposeful quality, is anchored in union, and actively nourishes and cherishes its object. It rises above both abdication (a cowardly stepping back) and tyranny (a bullying disposition) to do real good by God's own standards, regardless of the cost. It sends those who wish to serve Christ as husbands back to the Lord, for only in him and from him do we find cleansing for our sins and strength for his service.
