Make Her More (Ephesians 5)
Ephesians 5 in the Bible says that Christ's love for us, the church, made us sanctified, cleansed, washed, radiant, without stain or wrinkle, holy, and blameless. That's definitely more! Guys, we're called to love our wives like that. Because of how you love her, she should be more, not less. A selfish, controlling, critical, inattentive husband makes her less. But a thoughtful, kind, encouraging husband makes her more. More of what God has called and gifted her to be. Make her more.
