So what exactly is Biblical marriage for men?

I took this picture a few weeks ago. As I was eating my lunch, this old frail couple came and sat. I unwittingly start observing them. So this guy leads the prayer for the food. He then starts carefully unwrapping that kebab and hands it over to the wife then goes for his. Oh I just noticed the ring on his finger as well.

You see in Scripture men are commanded to love their wives and the model is how Christ loved the church. The moment you marry your wife is the moment you die to self. She is your primary focus. She comes before your kids. You know I was reading 1 Peter and it said treat your wife with honor and understanding so that your prayers may not be hindered. Can you imagine that badly treating your wife can actually hinder prayers!

So if you are going to strive to please God in your marriage, you basically have to become a 'simp' by these stupid worldly standards. You simp for your wife hard. Love her with every fibre of your being. Imagine a situation where you are actively and unconditionally loving your wife and giving her all the honor, then she also actively submits to your authority as the husband, respects you, which is of course is another explicit command, that's how you end up like this couple right here.
