How Do I Apply This Confusing Verse “…Having Cleansed Her By The Washing of Water with the Word…” (Ephesians 5:26)

Discover a simple yet profound way husbands can spiritually lead their wives, inspired by a touching funeral story of a man who texted his wife a meaningful Scripture verse each morning from his time with God. This practical act of sharing the Word fulfills Ephesians 5's call to love as Christ loves the church, bringing cleansing, security, and deep connection—showing that spiritual leadership often shines brightest in small, faithful gestures that profoundly touch a wife's heart.

Questions to Consider

  1. What small daily habit could you start to bring the Word into your marriage in a meaningful way?
  2. How might receiving a Scripture text from your husband (or sharing one as a wife) change the way you feel secure in your relationship and in the Lord?
  3. In what ways have you seen or experienced spiritual leadership expressed through simple, consistent actions rather than grand gestures?
  4. If husbands truly acted as the "Christ figure" in their homes by sharing God's Word humbly, how might that transform not just their wives but their entire family dynamic?
