And the Lord God said, it
is not good that the man should be
alone, I will make him an help
meet for him.
--Genesis 2:18
Therefore shall a man leave
his father and his mother, and
shall cleave unto his wife: and
they shall be one flesh.
--Genesis 2:24
Hatred stirreth up strifes:
but love covereth all sins.
--Proverbs 10:12
Whoso findeth a wife
findeth a good thing, and
obtaineth favour of the Lord.
--Proverbs 18:22
Nevertheless, to avoid
fornication, let every man have
his own wife, and let every woman
have her own husband.
Let the husband render unto
the wife due benevolence: and
likewise also the wife unto the
husband.
The wife hath not power of her own
body, but the husband; and
likewise also the husband hath not
power of his own body, but the
wife.
--I Corinthians 7:2-4
Let all bitterness, and
wrath, and anger, and clamour, and
evil speaking, be put away from
you, with all malice. And be ye
kind one to another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, even as God
for Christ's sake hath forgiven
you.
--Ephesians 4:31, 32
Submitting yourselves one
to another in the fear of God.
Wives, submit yourselves unto 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
saviour of the body. Therefore as
the church is subject unto Christ,
so let the wives be to their own
husbands in every thing. Husbands,
love your wives, 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 wrinkle, or any such thing; but
that it should be holy and without
blemish. So ought men to love
their wives as their own bodies.
He that loveth his wife loveth
himself. For no man ever yet hated
his own flesh; but nourisheth and
cherisheth 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 a man
leave his father and mother, and
shall be joined unto his wife, and
they two shall be one flesh. This
is a great mystery: but I speak
concerning Christ and the church.
Nevertheless let everyone of you
in particular so love his wife
even as himself; and the wife see
that she reverence her husband.
--Ephesians 5:21-33
Marriage is honourable in
all, and the bed undefiled: but
whoremongers and adulterers God
will judge.
--Hebrews 13:4

Marriage is like a pair of
shears Oft times working in
opposite directions, but punishing
anyone that comes between them.

The more you invest in a
marriage, the more valuable it
becomes.
--Amy Grant
We all have a childhood
dream that when there is love,
everything goes like silk, but the
reality is that marriage requires
a lot of compromise.
--Raquel Welch
Marriage is not a word; it
is a sentence.
--King Vidor
Marriage is the only war
where you sleep with the enemy.
--Gary Busey
In marriage, each partner
is to be an encourager rather than
a critic, a forgiver rather than a
collector of hurts, an enabler
rather than a reformer.
--H. Norman Wright and Gary J.
Oliver
They say love is
blind...and marriage is an
institution. Well, I'm not ready
for an institution for the blind
just yet.
--Mae West
A great marriage is not
when the 'perfect couple' come
together. It is when an imperfect
couple learns to enjoy their
differences.
--Dave Meurer
Man's best possession is a
sympathetic wife.
