We thank those virtuous wives that have submitted to and seduced us to manipulate and mold us into better husbands, and have used their physical bodies and emotional resources to raise strong boys and virtuous girls into adulthood

Submission and love is the crux of Christianity, and only as we show that love to one another in our most intimate relationships can others see our Christian testimony. If we show our Christian “love” only to those with whom our relationship is peripheral, we have not really passed the test, because the real test is our ability to sacrifice ourselves for one another, as Jesus sacrificed Himself for us.

It is inappropriate to allow feelings, however romantic they may be, to motivate us to deviate from that which we know is the objective design of God for the interaction of the genders.

A man is putty in the hands of a woman if she influences him with the power of love. God has given women that which they need to help and to influence a man to become that which he should, and ultimately, to form a loving and bonded relationship with her.

God tells us to have only one wife and to have marital relations with only her because of the feelings that He has designed into women and the possessiveness that they feel for those with whom they have intimate contact. And we should follow God’s instruction in this matter, as some things are to be avoided, because, when done, they cannot be fixed.

None of us are correct about that which we think unless we receive an accurate interpretation of the Scripture from the Holy Spirit Himself. We are never as wrong as when we think that we are right.

If Jesus meant the command to love to apply to any relationship, He meant it for the primary relationship that we have, that being, the relationship that we have with our spouses. A man may choose to give his life for the cause of Christ, but until he does so, he is to live his life for the love of his wife.

God does not rely on a strictly intellectual relationship to cement us together; as the two do not become one simply because of an agreement on paper. Marriage is more than a state of mind; marriage is a mutual act, and the act of marriage is the exercise of our sexuality.
