The Word

Scripture for Marriage

God's Word is the foundation of covenant love. Let these scriptures shape the way you lead, love, and pray for your spouse.

Ecclesiastes 4:12

“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”

Reflection. Oneness is God's design — unity of body, heart, mind, and spirit.

Ephesians 5:25

“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.”

Reflection. A husband's love is sacrificial — laying down self for the well-being of his bride.

Proverbs 18:22

“He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.”

Reflection. A godly spouse is grace from God — to be treasured, honored, and celebrated.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful... Love never ends.”

Reflection. Love is daily action — kindness, patience, humility. The fruit of a Spirit-led home.

Colossians 3:14

“And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.”

Mark 10:9

“What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
