"At last!" Adam exclaimed.
"She is part of my own
flesh and bone! She will
be called 'woman,' because
she was taken out of a man."
Women by nature are dear to men because they were originally created from an actual piece of man. Men are special to God because God breathed into man as Genesis 2:7 teaches us, “And the LORD God formed a man's body from the dust of the ground and breathed into it the breath of life. And the man became a living person.” Having God breathe directly into man is what makes man so unique among all of God's creations. That unique relationship gives us the template for marital love as Ephesians 5:25 teaches us, “And you husbands must love your wives with the same love Christ showed the church.” Now, for men to love their wives in the same way, men need to remember that Christ was crucified for the love of the church. Now that’s commitment. That kind of commitment is the truest form of love. Husbands, love your wives with that same deep commitment - through the pain, the breakdowns and the denials. If you do this in the true kind of love that Jesus gave to the church, you witness God moving in your life in ways you'd previously thought unimaginable.
