    Bible Verses About Marriage

    Marriage isn't a contract — it's a covenant. Scripture frames it as a picture of Christ and the Church, a daily act of laying down your life in love.

    Key Scriptures

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

    Ephesians 5:25 (NIV)

    "That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh."

    Genesis 2:24 (NIV)

    "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

    1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV)

    "A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."

    Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NIV)

    "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD."

    Proverbs 18:22 (ESV)

    Reflection

    A Christ-centered marriage isn't two people staring at each other — it's two people walking side by side toward Him.

    A Prayer for Marriage

    Lord, sanctify our marriage. Make us patient, sacrificial, and unified. Be the third cord that holds us. Amen.
