Who is a good example of a loving and giving husband? One character could be Carl Fredricksen from the animated movie Up (directed by Pete Docter and Bob Peterson, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, 2009). While we meet Carl as a grumpy widower, we see that he was a loving and devoted husband to his wife Ellie. He supported her passions, had picnics with her, and stayed with her through a miscarriage. He devoted himself to her. The love that Paul speaks of in Colossians is agapē, which is the same love that Christ shows for his people.
