Genesis 2:18
And the Lord God said: It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.
Genesis 2:24
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will be one flesh.
Matthew 19:4–6
4 He answered them: Have you not read that the One who created them in the beginning made them male and female? 5 And He said: Therefore a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will be one flesh; 6 so they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.
1 Corinthians 13:4–8
4 Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, love does not boast, it is not arrogant, 5 it does not behave dishonorably, it does not seek its own, it is not provoked, it keeps no record of wrongs, 6 it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will cease; whether there are tongues, they will be silenced; whether there is knowledge, it will pass away.
Ecclesiastes 4:9–12
9 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor: 10 for if one falls, the other will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for there is no one to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; but how can one keep warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Song of Solomon 8:6–7
6 Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is as strong as death, jealousy is as fierce as the grave; its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the Lord. 7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, he would be utterly despised.
Ruth 1:16–17
16 But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. 17 Where you die, I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also, if anything but death parts me from you.”
Ephesians 5:25–33
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for her, 26 to sanctify her, cleansing her with the washing of water by the spoken word; 27 so that He might present her to Himself as a glorious Church, without spot or wrinkle or anything similar, but holy and blameless. 28 In the same way, husbands should love their wives as their own bodies: he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the Church, 30 because we are members of His body, [of His flesh and of His bones]. 31 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. 32 This mystery is great; I speak concerning Christ and the Church. 33 Nevertheless, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife respect her husband.
Proverbs 18:22
He who finds a [good] wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord. [He who drives away a good wife drives away happiness, but he who keeps an adulteress is foolish and ungodly.]
Colossians 3:12–14
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and forgiving each other, if anyone has a complaint against someone: just as the Lord forgave you, so you also should forgive. 14 And above all, clothe yourselves with love, which is the bond of perfection.
