'Husband' in the Bible

and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.

Because Joseph, her husband to be, was a righteous man, and because he did not want to disgrace her, he intended to divorce her privately.

The disciples said to him, "If this is the case of a husband with a wife, it is better not to marry!"

And if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."

There was also a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old, having been married to her husband for seven years until his death.

"Everyone who divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery, and the one who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.

He said to her, "Go call your husband and come back here."

The woman replied, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "Right you are when you said, 'I have no husband,'

for you have had five husbands, and the man you are living with now is not your husband. This you said truthfully!"

Peter then told her, "Why have you agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!"

At once she collapsed at his feet and died. So when the young men came in, they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of the marriage.

So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is alive, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she is joined to another man, she is not an adulteress.

But because of immoralities, each man should have relations with his own wife and each woman with her own husband.

A husband should give to his wife her sexual rights, and likewise a wife to her husband.

It is not the wife who has the rights to her own body, but the husband. In the same way, it is not the husband who has the rights to his own body, but the wife.

To the married I give this command -- not I, but the Lord -- a wife should not divorce a husband

(but if she does, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband), and a husband should not divorce his wife.

And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is happy to live with her, she should not divorce him.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified because of the wife, and the unbelieving wife because of her husband. Otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

For how do you know, wife, whether you will bring your husband to salvation? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will bring your wife to salvation?

and he is divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord, to be holy both in body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the things of the world, how to please her husband.

A wife is bound as long as her husband is living. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes (only someone in the Lord).

For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy, because I promised you in marriage to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.

For it is written: "Rejoice, O barren woman who does not bear children; break forth and shout, you who have no birth pains, because the children of the desolate woman are more numerous than those of the woman who has a husband."

because the husband is the head of the wife as also Christ is the head of the church -- he himself being the savior of the body.

Nevertheless, each one of you must also love his own wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

The overseer then must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, an able teacher,

No widow should be put on the list unless she is at least sixty years old, was the wife of one husband,

An elder must be blameless, the husband of one wife, with faithful children who cannot be charged with dissipation or rebellion.

And I saw the holy city -- the new Jerusalem -- descending out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband.
