This is a very exciting series for me to begin. In just a few hundred days, I get to marry the LOVE of my life. It has been such a joyous season planning the event that will mark the start of our lives together as husband and wife. Along the planning process, I have taken the time to collect my thoughts and have created a handbook of tips to help future brides STREAMLINE their wedding. It is an absolute joy to be a part of your lives and I am honored that you have allowed me to be a part of THE BIG DAY!
Before closing, I feel called to share a bible verse that is very near and dear to my heart surrounding marriage.
{Ephesians 5:22-33}
Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as 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. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church-- for we are members of his body. "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." This is a profound mystery--but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
