A Healthy Marriage

Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.

For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior.

To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.

But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.

To the woman He said: “I will sharply increase your pain in childbirth; in pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

You shall not commit adultery.
