Love and Respect

Have you ever wondered why Ephesians 5 commands the Wife to respect her Husband and the Husband to Love his wife? I have pondered over it a couple of times and concluded it wasn't fair. But on Sunday my pastor couldn't have explained it better. He said God made man to need respect,. It defines who he is and respect or lack of it will determine what he is going to be. That is why a man who is respected by his wife thinks he can do anything. Women on the other hand need to be love, that is why a woman will want to sleep with a guy because she thinks it's love. It's the core of our being and God made us that way so that we will need Him! I guess this is something to think about eh?
