Some Verses on Marriage and Family:

 

1. “The wise woman builds her house, But the foolish tears it down with her own hands.” Proverbs 14:1
2. “An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, But she who shames him is like rottenness in his bones.” Proverbs 12:4
3. “As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout So is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.” Proverbs 11:22
4. “Listen to your father who begot you, And do not despise your mother when she is old.” Proverbs 23:22
5. “Let your father and your mother be glad, And let her rejoice who gave birth to you.” Proverbs 23:25
6. “The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18
7. “For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.” 1 Corinthians 11:8-9
8. “She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.” Proverbs 31:12
9. “A kindhearted woman gains respect, but ruthless men gain only wealth.” Proverbs 11:16
10. “Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.” Proverbs 19:14
11. “Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.” Titus 2:3-5
12. “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.” Ephesians 5:22- 33
13. “May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful deer– may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love.” Proverbs 5:18-19
14. “The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife’s body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband’s body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.” 1 Corinthians 7:3-5
15. “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:30
16. “A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.” 1 Timothy 2:11
17. “He who keeps the law is a discerning son, But he who is a companion of gluttons humiliates his father.” Proverbs 28:7
18. “Hear, my son, your father’s instruction And do not forsake your mother’s teaching; Indeed, they are a graceful wreath to your head And ornaments about your neck.” Proverbs 1:8-9
19. “A wise son accepts his father’s discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.” Proverbs 13:1
20. “A fool rejects his father’s discipline, But he who regards reproof is sensible.” Proverbs 15:5
21. “There is a kind of man who curses his father And does not bless his mother.” Proverbs 30:11
22. “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise), so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth. Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” Ephesians 6:1-4
23. “The eye that mocks a father And scorns a mother, The ravens of the valley will pick it out, And the young eagles will eat it.” Proverbs 30:17
24. “‘If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, and his blood will be on his own head.” Leviticus 20:9
25. “”He who strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.” Exodus 21:15
