In the beautiful conclusion to his analogy between Christ and the Church and husbands and wives, the Apostle Paul emphasizes what we already know from history: Christ loves the Church as much as he loves himself. In fact, there is no relational love that can surpass the love of Jesus Christ for the Church, not even that of a husband for his wife (or a parent for their child). God's love for us, in Christ, is perfect in every way.
Our response, then, as we seek to be Christ-like in our discipleship, is to recommit to loving our spouse as we love ourselves.
