G'day Pedro,

Here 'tis!

25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26to make her holy, cleansing[a] her by the washing with water through the word, 27and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— 30for we are members of his body. 31"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." 32This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

Verse 31 is a quote from Genesis 2:24 which talks about husband/ wife relationships, and verse 33 applies that the Christ and the church! This amazing passage shows how a man is to look after his wife, with all the care and consideration and self sacrifice that Jesus has for his church, his bride.

To get the full picture of wife/ husband and husband/ wife relationships this should be put in its context of Ephesians 5:21-33.
