Is selfishness destroying your marriage? If you've ever thought "I'm looking out for myself," this Words From The Word devotion will show you God's warning—and His blueprint for oneness. Pastor Roderick Webster teaches from Ephesians 5:28-31 (KJV) and reveals the truth: when self is at the center of marriage, the relationship loses its purpose and heads for destruction.

Scripture paints a different picture. Husbands are called to love their wives as their own bodies, just as Christ loves and nourishes the church. When Adam saw Eve, he said, "This is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh"—he understood they were one. God still expects this in marriage today.

You might be asking:

• What does "one flesh" actually mean in daily life?
• How do I love my wife the way God commands?
• What does "leaving and cleaving" look like practically?
• How do I stop selfishness from ruining my marriage?

In this devotion you'll learn:

• Why selfishness destroys what God designed for oneness (Ephesians 5)
• How Christ's love for the church is your marriage model
• What Adam understood about marriage that we must understand today
• The biblical command to leave your parents and cleave to your wife
