Fearless Love

At church last week we talked about husbands loving their wives as Christ loves the church. In the service we brainstormed how Jesus shows His love for us. This becomes our definition of love in action – and a job description for all us husbands out there. Hmmm, may have some work to do. Click on the blog and add your thoughts to the list. Lets see how many actions of love we can come up with.
