¹⁹ Husbands, love your wives, and don't be bitter against them.

⁷ You husbands, in like manner, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered.

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;

³¹ Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice.

²³ The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."

²⁴ Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.

¹⁴ But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.

²¹ Fathers, don't provoke your children, so that they won't be discouraged.

³³ Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

²⁸ Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

²⁹ For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;

¹⁴ "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."

²⁶ "If anyone comes to me, and doesn't hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can't be my disciple.

¹⁴ Yet you say, 'Why?' Because Yahweh has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion, and the wife of your covenant.

¹⁵ Did he not make one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? Why one? He sought a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

¹⁶ For I hate divorce," says Yahweh, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence!' says Yahweh of Hosts. "Therefore take heed to your spirit, that you don't deal treacherously.

⁹ Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your life of vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity: for that is your portion in life, and in your labor in which you labor under the sun.

¹⁸ Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth.

¹⁹ A loving doe and a graceful deer-- Let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love.

⁶⁷ Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her. Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
