Subject: How do I cherish my wife? |
Bible Note: happiness0070 Okay I will play Ephes. 5:28-29 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. [29] For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. Now do you want the definition of cherish? primarily means “to heat, to soften by heat”; then, “to keep warm,” as of birds covering their young with their feathers, Deut. 22:6, Sept.; metaphorically, “to cherish with tender love, to foster with tender care,” in Eph. 5:29 of Christ and the church; in 1 Thess. 2:7 of the care of the saints at Thessalonica by the apostle and his associates, as of a nurse for her children.¶ Vine, W.
