Loving Like Christ

I asked my brother what he thought about how men and women love nowadays. Here was our conversation:

Pat: It is said that we, men, need to love women like Christ loved the church. You were never asked to love us, but we need to love you. Like Christ loved the church.
Me: To the extent that you'd die for us?
Pat: Dying is easy. We have to live for you. But if we love you to that extent, with that kind of devotion, then the command to you, to be obedient to your husbands, should be easy. Because if you trust them that they won't do anything to harm you, then you should have no problem obeying.
Me: You're extreme, brother.
Pat: Oh, don't think of me as perfect. We're all not perfect when it comes to this. But we try. You know, present yourselves as living sacrifices and all that. The only problem with living sacrifices is they tend to wriggle off the sacrificial table every now and then. But we try.
