Marriage Bible Verses

The rib which ADONAI, God, had taken from the person, he made a woman-person; and he brought her to the man-person.  The man-person said, "At last! This is bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh. She is to be called Woman [Hebrew: ishah], because she was taken out of Man [Hebrew: ish]."  This is why a man is to leave his father and mother and stick with his wife, and they are to be one flesh.

Let your fountain, the wife of your youth, be blessed; find joy in her  a lovely deer, a graceful fawn; let her breasts satisfy you at all times, always be infatuated with her love.

A capable wife is a crown for her husband, but a shameful one is like rot in his bones.

He who finds a wife finds a great good; he has won the favor of ADONAI.

A house and wealth are inherited from ancestors, but a sensible wife is from ADONAI.

Most people announce that they show kindness, but who can find someone faithful [enough to do it]?  The righteous live a life of integrity; happy are their children after them.

Three things are too wonderful for me, four beyond my knowledge  the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship on the open sea, and the way of a man with a girl.

Who can find a capable wife? Her value is far beyond that of pearls.

"If a man has recently married his wife, he is not to be subject to military service; he is to be free of external obligations and left at home for one year to make his new wife happy.

He replied, "Haven't you read that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female,  and that he said, `For this reason a man should leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two are to become one flesh'?  Thus they are no longer two, but one. So then, no one should split apart what God has joined together."

Now to deal with the questions you wrote about: "Is it good for a man to keep away from women?"  Well, because of the danger of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife and each woman her own husband.  The husband should give his wife what she is entitled to in the marriage relationship, and the wife should do the same for her husband.  The wife is not in charge of her own body, but her husband is; likewise, the husband is not in charge of his own body, but his wife is.  Do not deprive each other, except for a limited time, by mutual agreement, and then only so as to have extra time for prayer; but afterwards, come together again. Otherwise, because of your lack of self-control, you may succumb to the Adversary's temptation.  I am giving you this as a suggestion, not as a command.  Actually, I wish everyone were like me; but each has his own gift from God, one this, another that.  Now to the single people and the widows I say that it is fine if they remain unmarried like me;  but if they can't exercise self-control, they should get married; because it is better to get married than to keep burning with sexual desire.  To those who are married I have a command, and it is not from me but from the Lord: a woman is not to separate herself from her husband  But if she does separate herself, she is to remain single or be reconciled with her husband. Also, a husband is not to leave his wife.  To the rest I say - I, not the Lord: if any brother has a wife who is not a believer, and she is satisfied to go on living with him, he should not leave her.  Also, if any woman has an unbelieving husband who is satisfied to go on living with her, she is not to leave him.  For the unbelieving husband has been set aside for God by the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been set aside for God by the brother - otherwise your children would be "unclean," but as it is, they are set aside for God.  But if the unbelieving spouse separates himself, let him be separated. In circumstances like these, the brother or sister is not enslaved - God has called you to a life of peace.  For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

Wives should submit to their husbands as they do to the Lord;  because the husband is head of the wife, just as the Messiah, as head of the Messianic Community, is himself the one who keeps the body safe.

Wives, subject yourselves to your husbands, as is appropriate in the Lord.  Husbands, love your wives and don't treat them harshly.

Marriage is honorable in every respect; and, in particular, sex within marriage is pure. But God will indeed punish fornicators and adulterers.  Keep your lives free from the love of money; and be satisfied with what you have; for God himself has said, "I will never fail you or abandon you."  Therefore, we say with confidence, "ADONAI is my helper; I will not be afraid what can a human being do to me?"  Remember your leaders, those who spoke God's message to you. Reflect on the results of their way of life, and imitate their trust -

However, at the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.  For this reason, a man should leave his father and mother and be united with his wife,  and the two are to become one flesh. Thus they are no longer two, but one.  So then, no one should break apart what God has joined together."
