Marriage is a sacred institution well thought out by God; hence, the command to the head of the institution (husbands) to love their wives as Christ loves the church. Sensual or sexual love has taken preeminence in marriages today, which is mere desire for the flesh and capable of collapsing in the process of time. Some families build their love in ‘stodgy.’ This kind of love does not attract any usual interest that should exist between a husband and wife. On the other hand, some husbands build their love on ‘pragma.’ This is a Greek word and it means pragmatic. There is a serious conflict between scriptural love that should exist in marriages and carnal selfish love that has crumbled homes.
