'Married' in the Bible
For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
Now there were seven brothers among us; the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother.
For Herod himself had sent [guards] and had John arrested and shackled in prison because of Herodias, the wife of his [half-] brother Philip, because he (Herod) had married her.
The second brother married her, and died leaving no children; and the third likewise;
In the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven [brothers] were married to her.”
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, a descendant of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
in order to register with Mary, who was betrothed to him, and was with child.
And another said, ‘I have [recently] married a wife, and for that reason I am unable to come.’
the people were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, [they were indifferent to God] until the day that Noah went into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
So in the [life after] resurrection, whose wife does she become? For all seven had married her.”

But to the married [believers] I give instructions—not I, but the Lord—that the wife is not to separate from her husband,
but the married man is concerned about worldly things, how he may please his wife,
and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or the virgin is concerned about the matters of the Lord, how to be holy and set apart both in body and in spirit; but a married woman is concerned about worldly things, how she may please her husband.
A wife is bound [to her husband by law] as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry whomever she wishes, only [provided that he too is] in the Lord.
In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands [subordinate, not as inferior, but out of respect for the responsibilities entrusted to husbands and their accountability to God, and so partnering with them] so that even if some do not obey the word [of God], they may be won over [to Christ] without discussion by the godly lives of their wives,
In the same way, you husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way [with great gentleness and tact, and with an intelligent regard for the marriage relationship], as with someone physically weaker, since she is a woman. Show her honor and respect as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered or ineffective.
