Thereforeª¹ shall a manª leaveª°¹ his fatherª and his mother,ª and shall cleaveª° unto his wife:ª and they shall be¹ oneª flesh.ª" {Gen 2:23-24} + "And Isaacª brought¹ her²° into his motherª Sarah'sª tent,ª and tookª°¹ Rebekah,ª and she became¹ his wife;ª and he lovedª° her: and Isaacª was comfortedª° afterª his mother'sª [death]." {Gen 24:67} + "Let thy fountainª be¹ blessed:ª° and rejoiceª° with the wifeª¹ of thy youth.ª ... [Let her be as] the lovingª hindª and pleasantª roe;ª let her breastsª satisfyª° thee at all¹ times;ª and be thou ravishedª° alwaysª with her love.ª" {Prv 5:18-19} + "Live² joyfullyª°¹ with¹ the wifeª whom¹ thou lovestª° all¹ the daysª of the lifeª of thy vanity,ª which¹ he hath givenª° thee under¹ the sun,ª all¹ the daysª of thy vanity:ª for¹ that¹ [is] thy portionª in [this] life,ª and in thy labourª which¹ thou¹ takestª under¹ the sun.ª" {Ecc 9:9} + "Yet ye say,ª° Wherefore?ª¹ Because¹¹ the LORDª hath been witnessª° between¹ thee and the wifeª of thy youth,ª against whom¹ thou¹ hast dealt treacherously:ª° yet [is] she¹ thy companion,ª and the wifeª of thy covenant.ª ... For¹ the LORD,ª the Godª of Israel,ª saithª° that he hatethª° putting away:ª° for [one] coverethª° violenceª with¹ his garment,ª saithª° the LORDª of hosts:ª therefore take heedª° to your spirit,ª that ye deal not treacherously.ª°¹" {Mal 2:14-16} + "If anyª [man] comeª° toª me,ª andª hateª° notª hisª father,ª andª mother,ª andª wife,ª andª children,ª andª brethren,ª andª sisters,ª yea,ª andª his ownª lifeª also,ª he cannotªª° beª° myª disciple.ª" {Lke 14:26} + "Husbands,ª loveª° yourª wives,ª even asª Christª alsoª lovedª° the¹ church,ª andª gaveª° himselfª forª it;ª" {Eph 5:25} + "Soª oughtª° menª to loveª° theirª wivesª asª their ownª bodies.ª He that lovethª° hisª wifeª lovethª° himself.ª ...
