0 Lord, our God, crown them with glory and honor!
Give thanks to God the Father always and for everything in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Defer to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives should be submissive to their husbands as if to the Lord because the husband is head of his wife just as Christ is head of His body the church, as well as its Savior. As the church submits to Christ, so wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church. He gave Himself up for her to make her holy, purifying her in the bath of water by the power of the word, to present Himself a glorious church, holy and immaculate, without stain or wrinkle or anything of that sort. Husbands should love their wives as they do their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. Observe that no one ever hates his own flesh: no, he nourishes it and takes care of it as Christ cares for the church - for we are members of His body. 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cling to his wife, and the two shal I be made into one.' This is a great foreshadowing; I mean that it refers to Christ and the church. In any case, each one should love his wife as he loves himself, the wife for her part showing respect for her husband. Epistle of Saint Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians: (5: 20-33)
