Verses 28 and 29 of the same chapter reiterate

That as Christ loved the Church, so should husbands love their wives;" He who loves his wife loves himself.
After all , no one ever hated his own body , but he feeds and cares for it.

A parallel New Testament scripture often misused to justify violent behavior against women in Colossians 3:18; "
Wives , submit to your husbands, as fitting in the Lord,"

But, once again,we must not fail to read the next verse,
" Husbands , love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
( verse 19).

What a blasphemy to the Word of God to use it as a justification for violence against women..
