These scriptures on love and marriage can be read by husband or wife or together as a couple. The words of the Lord God and Jesus Christ can give truth and life to your relationship. Beautiful encouragement for marriage problems.
Marriage is like that, isn't it? You get hurt. A lot. And you repent and seek forgiveness. And you accept the other's flaws and forgive. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
Marriage, at its best, blesses the husband and the wife and gives them a strong foundation for raising their children and facing the fallen, sinful world.
There is much written in the Bible about love and respect, so I try to turn to those words whenever I'm feeling lost or defeated, when being married is especially hard, and when I need some marital encouragement.
Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. –Ephesians 4:2-3
Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies. Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. –Proverbs 31:10
