Corinthians
13:4-7 Love is patient; love is kind and
envies no one. Love is never boastful, nor
conceited, nor rude; never selfish, not quick to
take offense. Love keeps no score of
wrongs; does not gloat over other men's sins,
but delights in the truth. There is
nothing love can not face; there is no limit to
its faith, its hope, and its
endurance.
John 15:9-12 As the Father hath loved me, so have
I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye
keep my commandments, and abide in his love;
even as I have kept my Father's commandments,
and abide in his love. These things have I
spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in
you, and that your joy might be full. This
is my commandment: That ye love one
another as I have loved you.
Mark
10:6-9 From the beginning of creation God
made them male and female. For this cause
shall a man leave his father and mother, and
cleave to his wife; and they shall be one flesh:
so then they are no more twain, but one
flesh. What therefore God hath joined
together, let not man put
asunder.
Ephesians
5:22-33 Submit yourselves one to
another as the fear of God. Wives, show
reverence for your own husbands, as unto the
Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife,
even as Christ is the head of the church and He
is the savior of the body. Therefore as the
church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives
be to their own Husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wife, even as Christ also
loved the church, and gave Himself for it; that
He might sanctify and cleanse it with the
washing of water by the word; that He might
present it to Himself a glorious church, not
having spot, or wrinkles or any such thing; but
that it should be holy and without blemish. So
ought men to love their wives as their own body;
He that loves his wife loves himself. For
no man ever yet hate his own flesh; but
nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord the
church. For we are members of his body, of his
flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall
man leave his father and mother, and shall be
joined unto his wife, and the two shall become
one flesh. This mystery is a profound one and I
am saying this as it refers to Christ and the
Church; however, let husband love his wife as
himself, and let the wife see that she respect
her husband."

Testament
Genesis 1:28 And
God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth,
and subdue it.
Genesis
2:18-24 And the Lord God said, It is not
good that the man should be alone; I will make
him a help mate for him. And out of the
group, the Lord God formed every beast in the
field, and every fowl of the air; and brought
them unto Adam to see what he would call them:
and whatsoever Adam called every living
creature, that was the name thereof. And
Adam gave names to all the cattle, and to the
fowl of the air, and to every beast of the
field; but for Adam there was not found a help
mate for him. And the Lord caused a deep
sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he
took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh
instead thereof; and the rib, which the Lord God
has taken from the man, made he a woman, and
brought her unto the man. And Adam said,
This is now bone of my bones, and the flesh of
my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she
was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a
man leave his father and his mother, and shall
cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one
flesh.
Psalm
128:1-4 Blessed is every one that
feareth the Lord; that walketh in his
ways. For thou shalt eat the labor of
thine hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall
be well with thee. Thy wife shall be as a
fruitful vine by the sides of thine house, thy
children like olive plants round about thy
table. Behold, that thus shall the man be
blessed that feareth the
Lord.
