The Bible provides numerous verses that guide married couples, husbands, wives, newlyweds, and engagement. Scripture offers valuable wisdom and advice whether you are considering a dating relationship, planning a wedding, or finding your marriage struggling.  Let's look at a few of our favorite Bible verses about marriage and its importance as a covenant bond between a man and woman.

If you seek God's healing for your marriage, these Bible verses can remind you of your love and purpose in your relationship. We've gathered Scriptures to help you express your desires, fears, and hopes concerning your marriage.
