Husbands love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it – Ephesians 5:25.

Unconditional love is what the Lord would have us have for everyone. Yes, we must follow the commandments the Lord has given us, but His commandment was not for us to allow people to mistreat us and be content with it.

So many of God’s women have allowed their spouses to mistreat them because they have taken the Word of God and misinterpreted what the Lord was saying. God has instructed the husband to love His wife as Christ loves the Church. Jesus does not mistreat His church; he does not say things or do things that would hurt or harm them in any form or fashion.

Yes, God hates divorce, but if you’re being abused in any form, this is not of God, and the Father does not want you to stay in that type of environment. Some have to report to their spouse every move they make; this is controlling, and it’s not of God.

The Father is love, and He wants His children to be loved; this is why it is so important to make sure you check with God before saying, “I do.” Just because you think the person should be your spouse does not mean that’s the one God would have you marry.

Some women take care of their spouse when the man is healthy, has no medical problems, and hasn’t worked in years, but she is still playing the role of the husband just to have a man; this is called desperation.

Men are supposed to work and take care of their wives and families; I’m saying husbands and wives because if you’re not married, according to the Bible, it’s fornication, and God is against it whether you agree with it or not.

Wives are to be treated with love, and words spoken to her should be with compassion, respect, and adoration. Wives should be able to talk to their husbands about whatever concerns them without worrying whether or not he’s going to get angry and cop an attitude.

Men are blessed when they have a wife (Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtained favor of the Lord – Proverbs 18:22). Just like a man can obtain favor from God; he can also receive the wrath of God because of the way he’s treating his wife; a wife is a gift from God.

Love is not allowing your spouse to talk to you in any way or abuse you. Taking advantage of you by allowing you to play the role of the husband, you pay all the bills, everything bought, you buy it. He’s waiting for you to handle all the problems.

If you’re in this type of marriage, you need to be praying until God delivers you or delivers him. Matter of fact, be praying for both of you to be delivered. You delivered from him treating you the way he’s treating you and his deliverance to be a man.

There is nothing too hard for God, but you have to stand up for what is right; what you will allow, God will allow. When you get tired and want out of it, then God will move on your behalf, but if you’re satisfied with what you’re receiving, God will allow it to continue.
