Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and
gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having
cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might
present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or
wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.
So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He
who loves his own wife loves himself; for no one ever hated his own
flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the
church.
Ephesians 5:25-29 NASB

May your fountain be blessed, and may
you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
A loving doe, a graceful deer -
may her breasts satisfy you always,
may you ever be captivated by her love.
Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress?
Why embrace the bosom of another man's wife?
Proverbs 5:18-20 NIV

Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.

"But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.'
'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united
to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer
two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not
separate."
Mark 10:6-9 NASB
