Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she respect her husband.
All Commentaries on Ephesians 5:33 Go To Ephesians 5
Gaius Marius Victorinus
AD 400
Already he has given instructions generally to men concerning their wives and to women concerning their husbands. He now applies the same principles specifically to the Ephesians…. He has added the connecting word however. This shows that even as Christ and the church are one body, so are husband and wife one flesh. The husband’s maxim is to love his wife as if she were his own flesh. .
