Bible Note: Preparing for Marriage The following verses will I am sure be of help. Eph 5:22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. Eph 5:23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Eph 5:24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in everything. Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, Eph 5:28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself Eph 5:29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord [does] the church. Eph 5:30 For we are members of His body, [fn] of His flesh and of His bones. Eph 5:31 "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." [fn] Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Eph 5:33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife [see] that she respects [her] husband. 1Pe 3:1 Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, 1Pe 3:2 when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. 1Pe 3:3 Do not let your adornment be merely outward--arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel-- 1Pe 3:4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. 1Pe 3:5 For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, 1Pe 3:6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror. 1Pe 3:7 Husbands, likewise, dwell with [them] with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as [being] heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. Gen 2:18 Then the Lord God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone: When the Lord made Adam He endowed him with certain of, but not all of the Divine qualities. When He made Eve He endowed her with the remainder of His qualities, a different set, His intention being that when they came together as, "one flesh", this new man/woman unit would posses, "all", of the Divine qualities The expression, "one flesh", although including sexual union, means a great deal more than that. The woman is complementary to the man, she is neither superior, nor inferior, she is his equal, it is God's intention that each should put the other before self, and endeavor to behave towards each other as, 1Cr 13:4 Love suffers long [and] is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 1Cr 13:5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 1Cr 13:6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 1Cr 13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Every blessing to you both. Edwin. |
