Get rid of all bitterness, rage
and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of
malice.
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each
other, just as in Christ God forgave
you.Ephesians 4:31-32
And the
LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone;
I will make him an help meet for him.
Genesis
2:18
Therefore shall a man leave his father
and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they
shall be one flesh.
Genesis
2:24
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto
the Lord.
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is
the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the
wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the
church, and gave himself for it;
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of
water by the word,
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not
having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it
should be holy and without blemish.
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He
that loveth his wife loveth himself.
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and
cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his
bones.
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and
shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one
flesh.
This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and
the church.
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his
wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence
her husband.
Ephesians 5:21-33
Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so
that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be
won over without words by the behavior of their wives,
when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as
braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine
clothes.
Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading
beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great
worth in God's sight.
For this is the way the holy women of the past who put
their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They
were submissive to their own husbands,
like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master.
You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not
give way to fear.
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with
your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker
partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life,
so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

Peter 3:1-7
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then
choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether
the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the
gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as
for me and my household, we will serve the
LORD."
Joshua 24:15
Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the
fulfillment of the law.
Romans
13:10
I will be careful to lead a blameless life-- when will you
come to me? I will walk in my house with blameless
heart.
Psalm 101:2
Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be
sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.
Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with
blessing, because to this you were called so that you may
inherit a blessing.
For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep
his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.
He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and
pursue it.
1 Peter 3:8-11
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your
own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your
paths straight.
Proverbs
3:5-6
Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love
covereth all sins.
Proverbs
10:12
Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart.
1 Peter 1-22
