The call for a man to love his spouse as Jesus loved the church is one of the most profound challenges set forth in the Christian faith. In Ephesians 5:25, the Apostle Paul writes, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her." This comparison is not simply poetic; it sets a high standard for marital love, one rooted in sacrifice, selflessness, and unwavering devotion. But what does it truly mean to love in this way, and is it possible for any man to live up to such an ideal?
