Down ONLY! by Gary Rose


Whoever made this is clever, tacky but clever. Tacky, because anyone can see that a man should never treat his wife like this. More than that – it is not funny. But, there are people out there who might actually think this is acceptable for a husband. I feel sorry for them and I hope they change before they head to divorce court. Marriage should only enhance a relationship, not degrade it. The apostle Paul wrote these words to the Ephesian church…


Ephesians 5 ( World English Bible )
 [25]  Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it; [26] that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,  [27] that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without defect.  [28] Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.  [29] For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;  [30] because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.  [31] “For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.”  [32] This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly. 



Marriage is an expression of love and should remain that way. It is a bond that is forever and the foundation of our society. At its center is love, genuine love, that should just grow over the years. All people should understand this – especially Christians!
