I will make a helper suitable for him.’”
Genesis 2:18 (NIV)
“May your fountain be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful deer—
may her breasts satisfy you always,
may you ever be intoxicated with her love.”
Proverbs 5:18-19 (NIV)
“And said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one fles
h’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
Matthew 19:5-6 (NIV)
“‘In your anger do not sin’: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,”
Ephesians 4:26 (NIV)
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— for we are members of his body. ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.”
Ephesians 5:25-33 (NIV)
“Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.”
Colossians 3:19 NIV
“Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers. ”
I Peter 3:7 (NIV)
