John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Jesus gave us a revolutionary commandment. Women were told to be in total submission to their husbands, and husbands were told to treat their wives well. Don't beat them or abuse them. Anything else was within the social norm.
But Jesus changed all that. He said to love each other, to give our best to each other and even to lay down our very lives for each other. That is giving as Jesus gave.
