Wife

Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, But she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.

The wise woman builds her house, But the foolish pulls it down with her hands.

He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the LORD.

Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the LORD.

It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.

But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,

“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”

Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality;

Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
