>I agree. A Husband is to love his wife and live with her in an understanding way. He is to love his wife as Christ loved the church - of course - He was willing and did die for the church...

The Church? What Church was that?

When Christ died he died a Jew. There was no Church, no Christians, no Catholics, no Protestants, no Baptits and all the thousand other sects. He died because he run afoul of the Romans, their customs and their laws. The Church you speak of was founded decades later by some other people. But you knew that already.
