The strength of a church is measured by the strength of its families, not just attendance. The New Covenant places significant emphasis on marital and family life, viewing the relationship between husband and wife as a picture of Christ and the Church. Husbands are encouraged to love their wives as they love their own bodies, meaning the love should be nurturing and protective, not controlling or dictatorial.
