Hello justme, Of course it's possible, otherwise it wouldn't be part of Scripture. The "how" is given in verse 25 - give himself for her. The "why" is in verse 26 - sanctify her. The husband is to do all that is necessary for his wife to live a holy life. Steve |

5:25 love your wives. Though the husband’s authority has been established (vv. 22–24), the emphasis moves to the supreme responsibility of husbands in regard to their wives, which is to love them with the same unreserved, selfless, and sacrificial love that Christ has for His church. Christ gave everything He had, including His own life, for the sake of His church, and that is the standard of sacrifice for a husband’s love of his wife. Cf. Col. 3:19. John F. MacArthur, Jr., The MacArthur Study Bible, (Dallas: Word Publishing) 1997. Praise the Lord! Norm |
