31 Bible Verses about Love Marriage

You husband, love your spouse, even as Christ loved the church, and laid down his life for her:

wherefore let every one of you without exception, love his wife even as himself; and let the wife respect her husband.

to all this add love, which is the band of perfect union:

let the husband discharge his obligations to his wife: and likewise the wife to the husband.

these words contain a very mystical sense, I mean in reference to Christ and the church.

for the husband presides over his wife, as Christ presides over the church: and he it is that preserves the whole body.

The wife is bound as long as her husband lives: but if her husbnd be dead, she is at liberty to be married, if she pleases; provided it be to a christian.

husbands, love your wives, and do not exasperate them.

in like manner ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies: "he that loves his wife, loveth himself."

there is the same difference between a married woman and a virgin: the last is religiously concern'd to be holy, both in body and mind: but she that is married is taken up with worldly cares to please her husband.

as to the married, I enjoin this rule, not as from my self, but from the Lord, that a woman should not leave her husband:

he that is married is worldly concern'd, how he may please his wife.

consequently they are no longer two, but one person.

and if a woman has a pagan husband, who likes to live with her, let her not leave him.

for the unbelieving husband is christianiz'd by the believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is christianiz'd by the believing husband: else were your children heathens: whereas they are christians.

Dames, be submissive to your husbands, as becomes christians.

O wife, but you may save your husband? or how do you know, O man, but you may save your wife?

You husbands, do you on your part behave with prudence towards your wives: who being of a more delicate make, ought to be treated with the greater tenderness: and consider they are equally intitled to the evangelical gifts, that your prayers may not be frustrated.

now a married woman is bound by the law to her living husband: but if her husband dieth, she is released from the marriage-contract.

let all your transactions flow from social affections.

Let the married women be subservient to their husbands, that if they happen to disbelieve the gospel, they may be gain'd by the instructive conduct of their wives,

let married women be submissive to their husbands, out of regard to the Lord.

This I say, brethren, because the time is coming, when they who have wives will be as those that have none;

with all humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another in love;

not that it is a sin for you to marry; nor is it so if a virgin marry; but they that do, will be troubled for their relations, and that I would prevent.

the bridegroom is he that hath a right to the bride: as for the friend of the bridegroom, who is nigh his person and heareth him, he greatly rejoyces at the voice of the bridegroom: upon this account my joy is compleat.

I answer, with regard to the licentious, it is best for a man, to have his wife; and for a woman to have her husband.
