A husband should fulfill his marital responsibility to his wife, and likewise a wife to her husband.

A wife does not have the right over her own body, but her husband does. In the same way, a husband does not have the right over his own body, but his wife does.

But if she does leave, she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband—and a husband is not to leave his wife.

Also, if any woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not leave her husband.

For the unbelieving husband is set apart for God by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is set apart for God by the husband. Otherwise your children would be corrupt, but now they are set apart for God.

For you, wife, how do you know whether you will save your husband? Or you, husband, how do you know whether you will save your wife?

A wife is bound as long as her husband is living. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to anyone she wants—only in the Lord.
