Bible Verses About Marriage

Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for her,

4Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, 5doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; 6doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.

9Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. 10For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up. 11Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one keep warm alone? 12If a man prevails against one who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”

Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.

Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.

Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh.

6Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm; for love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of Yah. 7Many waters can’t quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
