31As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.”c 32This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one. 33So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
As the Scriptures say,
Genesis 2:24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
32. Rather, "This mystery is a great one." This profound truth, beyond man's power of discovering, but now revealed, namely, of the spiritual union of Christ and the Church, represented by the marriage union, is a great one, of deep import.

The conclusion both of the husband's duty toward his wife, (love you wife) and of the wife's toward her husband. (Respect your husband)

If both of you master these commands you will have a long and fruitful marriage.
For those of you that are single, may or Lord Jesus Christ give you the comfort that only He can provide!
May our Lord continue to Bless you in 2017
David
