Colossians 3:19

"Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them."

1 Peter 4:8
"Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins."

John 13:34
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to
love one another."

Ephesians 5:25-28 GNT

22 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands as to the Lord. 23 For a husband has authority over his
wife just as Christ has authority over the church; and Christ is himself the Savior of the church, his body.
24 And so wives must submit themselves completely to their husbands just as the church submits itself to
Christ.
25 Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it. 26 He did this to
dedicate the church to God by his word, after making it clean by washing it in water, 27 in order to
present the church to himself in all its beauty—pure and faultless, without spot or wrinkle or any other
imperfection. 28 Men ought to love their wives just as they love their own bodies. A man who loves his
wife loves himself.

1 CORINTHIANS 13:13
And now we have these three: faith and hope and love, but the greatest of these is love.

JEREMIAH 17:9-10 NLT

9 “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how
bad it is?
10 But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards,
according to what their actions deserve.”

1 Timothy 2:9
Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with
braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments,

1 Peter 3:3-4
Your adornment must not be merely external braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on
dresses; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet
spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

PROVERBS 5:15-19 NLV

15 Drink water from your own pool, flowing water from your own well. 16 Should the waters from your
well flow away, rivers of water in the streets? 17 Let them be yours alone, and not for strangers with
you. 18 Let your well be honored and be happy with the wife you married when you were young. 19
Let her be like a loving, female deer. Let her breasts please you at all times. Be filled with great joy
always because of her love.
