This is considered the greatest of Christian values, but most people don't realize what love is, scripturally-speaking. It is not primarily a feeling or emotion. It is a COMMITMENT. When God told men to love their wives as Christ loved the church, it would make no sense if love were an emotion. What the Lord meant was for husbands to be loving in their behavior toward their wives, and to commit themselves to their wives. Even that most famous scripture verse, John 3:16 doesn't say that God felt good about the world or that He liked the way the world was. It says He LOVED the world. This is commitment. He sent His Son to die on the cross for the world.
