1 Corinthians 13
Ephesians
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV)
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— for we are members of his body. (Ephesians 5:21-30 NIV)
1. Love requires us to learn
爱需要学习
'不' - say no, self restriction
婚姻是入学的第一天，而不是毕业典礼。学习爱的学校。
2. There is order in love
爱里有次序
丈夫是妻子的头
妻子要顺从丈夫
3. The role model of love
爱的最高榜样：基督如何来爱教会，为教会舍己
耶稣基督做到了
基督是我们最高的爱
When there is argument:
1. The husband asks himself first do I treat myself the way Christ loves His church.
2. The wife ask herself have I treated/loved my husband the same way the church treats/loves/submits to Christ
