1:28
God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number;
fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the
air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." But
for Adam no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the
man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the
man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God
made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the
man. GE
2:23 The man said, GE 2:24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. Ruth
1:16-17 RU 1:16 But Ruth replied, "Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. 17 Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me." PS

him whose mind is steadfast,
because he trusts in you.
ISA 26:4 Trust in the LORD forever,

MT
19:3 Some
Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to
divorce his wife for any and every reason?"
MT 19:4 "Haven't you read," he replied, "that
at the beginning the Creator `made them male and female,' 5 and said,
`For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his
wife, and the two will become one flesh' ? 6 So they are no longer
two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not
separate."
MT 19:7 "Why then," they asked, "did Moses
command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her
away?"
MT 19:8 Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce
your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the
beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for
marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery." Matthew
22:37-40
MT
22:37 Jesus
replied: " `Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest
commandment. 39 And the second is like it: `Love your neighbor as
yourself.' 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two
commandments." Mark
10:6-9
"But
at the beginning of creation God `made them male and female.' 7 `For
this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, 8
and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one. 9
Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." Mark
10:42-45
42
Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded
as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise
authority over them. 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to
become great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to
be first must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not
come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for
many." John
2:1-11
JN
2:1 On the
third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, 2
and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3
When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more
wine."
JN 2:4 "Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus
replied. "My time has not yet come."
JN 2:5 His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he
tells you."
JN 2:6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the
Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.
JN 2:7 Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with
water"; so they filled them to the brim.
JN 2:8 Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it
to the master of the banquet."
They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water
that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from,
though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom
aside 10 and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first
and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you
have saved the best till now."
JN 2:11 This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus
performed at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put
their faith in him. John
15:9-12
JN 15:9 "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.
Now remain in my love. 10 If you obey my commands, you will remain in
my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. 11
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be
complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Romans
7:1-2
RO
7:1 Do you not
know, brothers--for I am speaking to men who know the law--that the law has
authority over a man only as long as he lives? 2 For example, by law
a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her
husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. Romans
12:9-18
RO
12:9 Love must be
sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to
one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13
Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
RO 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not
curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing
to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
RO 12:17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do
what is right in the eyes of everybody. 18 If it is possible, as far
as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 1
Corinthians 7:3-5
3
The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife
to her husband. 4 The wife's body does not belong to her alone but
also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him
alone but also to his wife. 5 Do not deprive each other except by
mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then
come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of
self-control. 1
Corinthians 13:4-8…
1CO
13:4 Love is
patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no
record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with
the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres.
1CO 13:8 Love never fails….. 1
Corinthians 16:14
14
Do everything in love. Ephesians
4:25-32
EPH
4:25 Therefore
each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we
are all members of one body. 26 "In your anger do not sin"
: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not
give the devil a foothold. 28 He who has been stealing must steal no
longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may
have something to share with those in need.
EPH 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your
mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their
needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the
Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with
every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another,
forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians
5:22-33
EPH
5:22 Wives, submit
to your husbands as to the Lord. 23 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. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should
submit to their husbands in everything.
EPH 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the
church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her
by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to
himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but
holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their
wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29
After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just
as Christ does the church-- 30 for we are members of his body. 31
"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to
his wife, and the two will become one flesh." 32 This is a
profound mystery--but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33
However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the
wife must respect her husband. Philippians
2:1-11
PHP
2:1 If you have
any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love,
if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2
then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one
in spirit and purpose. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain
conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4
Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the
interests of others.
PHP 2:5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ
Jesus:
PHP 2:6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
PHP 2:7 but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
PHP 2:8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross!
PHP 2:9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
PHP 2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
PHP 2:11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. Colossians
3:12-17
COL
3:12 Therefore, as
God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion,
kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other
and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the
Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which
binds them all together in perfect unity.
COL 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as
members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let
the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another
with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with
gratitude in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, whether in
word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the
Father through him. Colossians
3:18-19
COL
3:18 Wives, submit
to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. COL
3:19 Husbands,
love your wives and do not be harsh with them. Colossians 3:20
COL
3:20 Children,
obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Colossians 3:21
COL
3:21 Fathers, do
not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged. Hebrews 13:4
HEB
13:4 Marriage
should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the
adulterer and all the sexually immoral. 1 Peter 3:1-7
1PE
3:1 Wives, in the
same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe
the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2
when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Your beauty
should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of
gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4 Instead, it should be that of your
inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great
worth in God's sight. 5 For this is the way the holy women of the
past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were
submissive to their own husbands, 6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham
and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do
not give way to fear.
1PE 3:7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live
with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs
with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers. 1
John 4:7-12
1JN
4:7 Dear friends,
let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been
born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God,
because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He
sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an
atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved
us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God;
but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. Revelation
19:7-9
REV
19:7 Let us
rejoice and be glad
and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.
REV 19:8 Fine linen, bright and clean,
was given her to wear." (Fine
linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)
REV 19:9 Then the angel said to me, "Write: `Blessed are
those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!' " And he added,
"These are the true words of God."
