When a man loves Christ more than anything else and his wife is number two, she receives far more attention and love as number two than if she were number one. Because he is an idolater, a man who worships his wife has cut himself off from the source of all love. He is going to run out of strength very quickly, but if he loves Christ the way the Bible says to, then he will have the strength to love her as Christ loved the Church. If your one central goal in life is to keep your wife happy, then the one thing I can guarantee is that you are not going to make her happy.
