Marriage is a wonderful experience that man and woman often share, but sometimes it can also be a hefty weight to carry. There's this joke that says that in marriage there are three rings that a man gives to a woman- the engagement ring, the wedding ring and then the suffe-ring.

Looking to the Bible throughout your marriage is a great way to remember the importance of the vows that you took to stay engaged with your faith and your spouse on a daily basis.

But kidding aside, marriage is a privilege, but also one that needs extra care and work. Married couples need a new level of grace and ability to carry through a relationship and maximise it to it's full extent. That's why it's extremely important to involve God in our marriages.

The Bible gives a beautiful picture of what a marriage should be like: a cord of three strands that is not easily broken. Those three strands are the couple plus God.

One of the ways that we invite God into our marriages is to soak ourselves with His scriptures that will speak life to our relationships and help us grow more in honouring God through loving our spouses. The Bible is full of so many scriptures that speak blessing to marriages and help us love our spouses more. Here are ten scriptures that will help husbands and wives love each other more through the grace of God.

1. Genesis 4:22

"The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man."

2. Proverbs 18:22

"He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD."

3. Proverbs 19:14

"Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the LORD."

4. Colossians 3:18-19

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

5. 1 Peter 3:7

"Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered."

6. Proverbs 5:18

"Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth."

7. Proverbs 31:10

"A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies."

8. Mark 10:9

"Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."

9. Genesis 24:67

"Then Isaac brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother and took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death."

10. Ephesians 5:25

"Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her..."

Thank you so much

Hallelujah

You forgot to add these points:

1. Your pastor or whosoever does not have a say in whom you married

2. Only your parents blessings are needed to complete a true Biblical wedding

3. You don't need a church or pastor to have your wedding, it is not Biblical

4. Pastor don't have any right to join you together, neither Jesus nor the disciples joined any couples together in their lifetime

**5** If a pastor or any clergy man will be attending your wedding, he/she better be prepared to turn your bottled-water to wine (McDowell/Hennessey @least) cos that's the only thing Jesus did at a wedding

Interesting


I will find this useful u know

Those verses said nothing on how to strengthen a relationship. We know (to the extent we can know things) that naturally, two people can tango, find affection and become husband/wife but in the context of the ups and downs of marriage, your verses said nothing on ways to going about resolving and strengthening such relationship.

It is bunch quotes from ancient write-up about marriage but have no hand in contemporary consensual relationship.

Thanks so much. I have found my missing rib

Thanks so much.

Wow, funny enough all these Bible verses favour the women most.

"Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. - Ephesians 5:25

Una own na to submit, our own is to die for you. Chaii!

Most men only get married so they'll have children, while most women get married because of the societal pressure. Truth is, beneath all of these we all love our freedom.

The word of God is perfect.

You cannot explain the word of God by philosophy or feelings or by your modern standards.

God's word is Yea and Amen.

If you allow his word rule your life, marriage and family completely, those scenarios you put up there won't exist.
