Matthew 5:31-32

And it was said, Whosoever may send away his wife, let him give her a divorcement. But I say unto you, that every one sending away his wife, except on account of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever may marry her who has been cast off commits adultery.

Ephesians 5:21-33

being submissive to one another in the fear of Christ. Wives, be submissive to your own husbands, as to the Lord, because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is also the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.read more.
But as the church is submissive to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives with divine love, as Christ also loved the church with divine love, and gave himself for her; in order that he might sanctify her, having purified her by the washing of water through the word, in order that he might present to himself the glorious church, having not spot or wrinkle or any of such things; but that she might be holy and blameless. So the husbands ought to love their own wives with divine love as their own bodies. The one loving his own wife is loving himself: for no one ever yet hated his own flesh; but he nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also the church; because we are members of his body: on account of this a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife: and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak in reference to Christ and the church. Moreover you also each one thus love his own wife with divine love as himself; and that the wife also reverence the husband.

Ephesians 6:1-4

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise, that it may be well with you, and you may live long upon the earth.read more.
And fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
