The type of love that Jesus Christ has shown to us. Paul has high expectations of husbands. That is exactly what a husband is supposed to do. We are to give as Jesus Christ gave to us. 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.
Many husbands love their wives because they think they are beautiful.
That is not bad, but here the implication is that because a husband loves his wife, he will do everything possible to make her beautiful. The husband's job is to enable his wife to become who God wants her to be. Some of you men are starting to realize that what the Lord is calling us to do is even a bit harder than what our wives are called to do. I think that men who really take time to study this passage of Scripture, often like it less than the feminists do. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies.
