Bible quotes

Wives are mentioned several times in the book of Ephesians.

  • "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 saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing." Ephesians 5:22-24
  • "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it" Ephesians 5:25
  • "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 5:33

Titus:

  • To be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands ... 2:4-5

Other quotes about women and marriage:

  • "I counsel younger widows to marry, to have children, to manage their homes and to give the enemy no opportunity for slander." 1 Tim. 5:14
