What does the Bible say about the role of husbands in marriage?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible instructs husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the Church, which implies sacrificial, unconditional love.

According to Ephesians 5:25-28, husbands are commanded to love their wives as Christ loved the Church, giving Himself up for her. This love is described as sacrificial, where the husband is called to prioritize his wife's spiritual well-being, cleansing and nurturing her in the faith. The relationship between husband and wife reflects Christ's relationship to His Church – it should be characterized by unconditional love and mutual respect. Husbands are to see their wives as their own bodies, meaning that the love for their wives should be as instinctive and natural as the love they have for themselves.
