Just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it, the husband is to love his wife as he does his own body. Therefore, a man's personal spiritual relationship with the Lord is of supreme importance in the success of his marriage and his family.
Kung paanong inibig ni Kristo ang iglesya at ibinigay ang Kanyang buhay para dito, iniibig ng isang lalaki ang kanyang asawa gaya ng kanyang sariling katawan. Dahil dito ang personal na relasyon ng isang lalaki sa Panginoon ay napakahalaga sa tagumpay ng kanyang buhay may asawa at pamilya.
