Loving someone does not mean putting the person first priority, because it is conditional. In fact no Bible principles supports that view. The context of the verse takes the example of the love of the Christ for the congregation (Eph 5:32). Christ loved and died for the congregation of faithful Christians who subject themselves to the Law of the Christ (Eph 6:4; Joh 3:16). Why would a loving husband love his wife to the point of dying for her, if she is unwilling to subject to the law of her husband? (Ro 7:2; Eph 5:22-24).
Now, here is the tricky part: Did the Christ died for Judas Iscariot or did Judas Iscariot died for himself ? (Jn 17:12; Ac 1:17,18, 20).
This is well illustrated in the Friday talk of Bro Morris III: A Christian sister leaving her husband, files and obtains an unscriptural divorce and keep her wedding ring to expect blessings from the marriage vow she broke, is like Satan expecting a worship from Jesus, which will certainly never happen. Disgraceful! (Lu 4:6, 7).
