11 Bible Verses about Marriage, Between God And His People

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it, that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bath of the water in the word; that he himself might present to himself the church, glorious, having no spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish.read more.
In like manner husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself; for no one ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ doth the church; for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. "For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh." This mystery is a great one; but I am speaking of Christ and of the church. However, do ye also severally love each one his own wife as himself; and let the wife see that she reverence her husband.

But the wise answered, saying, Perhaps there will not be enough for us and you; go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, lord, open to us.
