The Holy Bible
Marriage was God's idea — a covenant of love, patience, and faithfulness. These Bible verses about marriage make beautiful readings for weddings, anniversaries, and everyday devotion together.
“Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.”
“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one keep warm alone? If a man prevails against one who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
“Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;”
“Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh.”
“Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.”
“What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.””
“Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm; for love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of Yahweh. Many waters can’t quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.”
“with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love; being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
“And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.”
“Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies.”
“Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.”
