Husbands and Wives

Ephesians 5:22 "Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord."
Ephesians 5:25 "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her"

I know a lot of people have a hard time with wives being told to submit to their husbands.  Although, if you look at what is being asked of our husbands, I think they have the harder job!  But in all reality, these verses just tell us what we've already been told by Jesus in John 13:34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."  In my notes on that page, it goes on to say that love is more than warm feelings...it is an attitude that reveals itself in action. 

All this reminded me of a couple pictures I saw once...I think it's from the love and respect book/study.  But I thought I'd post them here because they give a great visual of how the verses above build up a relationship...and how easily a relationship can fall apart if things go in reverse.
