Well, I do not doubt the experience, nor do I doubt that it is of God. I am just saying that brother Ottoman has the correct understanding of the Eph passage if one cares about contextual restrictions.

All I know is that I really LOVE it when my husband reads the Word to me. It makes me feel very loved. It's better than roses or dinner out! izzy

Yes the admonition in Ephesians 5 speaks of Christ and the Church but it is given as an example of how husbands are to
treat their wives - but mostly glossed over in today's relgious circles - and apparently also among the religious on TT. Note:
His Word is "spiritual" and it is "cleansing" so it is the spiritual rather than the carnal that I refer to here. judyt
