Husbands Love Your Wives
Michael White
Ephesians 5:21, 25-31
Intro: A marriage contract drawn up by Albert Einstein: With his marriage disintegrating and already participating in extra-marital affairs, Einstein made a last-ditch effort to keep his marriage somewhat intact, even if only for the sake of the children.
