Feed and Care For (Ephesians 5)
Maybe I should clarify what I mean. How fat with your love is your wife? In Ephesians 5, God encourages us men to feed and care for our wives like you feed and care for your own body. I’ve often thought that if I love my wife the way I feed my body; she should be pleasantly plump with love. Love is one case where she’d like to be fat if you know what I mean. So the next time you stick food in your mouth ask yourself, “how well am I feeding and caring for my wife?” Believe me, she’ll eat it up.
Looking for a way to keep going?
These six conversations are just a glimpse into the type of conversations prompted by our new marriage study, Art of Marriage, currently 25% off through August 31.
If you’ve been craving more—more connection, more understanding, more joy together—Art of Marriage is a powerful next step. This six-session, video-based study dives into the core of how to love our spouse the way God loves us: how to have an unwavering love no matter the challenge, a love full of strength and resiliency, a love that is selfless, a love that forgives because of the grace He has shown us, a love so intimate that you feel fully known and seen, and a love that is a representation of Christ just in how others see you love each other.
You can walk through it with friends, a small group, host an event at your church, or go through it with just the two of you. Learn more or preview session one at ArtofMarriage.com

Ron: So, guys, how fat is your wife?
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Maybe I should clarify what I mean. How fat with your love is your wife? In Ephesians 5, God encourages us men through the Apostle Paul to nourish and cherish our wives. Another translation says, “Feed and care for our wives like you feed and care for your own body.”
I’ve often thought that if I love my wife the way I feed my body; she should be at least pleasantly plump with love. Love is one case where she’d really like to be fat if you know what I mean. So, the next time you stick some food in your mouth ask yourself, “how well am I feeding and caring for my wife?” Believe me, she’ll eat it up. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
