•  When we love like Jesus, it reveals the power, wisdom, and goodness of God.

• Husbands and wives, you aren't competing. You're on the same team.
• Sacrificial love in marriage, in your family, in your job, in life, means looking beyond the person in front of you and responding to Christ.
• Wives give themselves up by respectfully following their husband's leadership.
• Husbands give themselves up by sacrificially serving their wives.
