"...What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate." Matthew 19:6

   Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct.

3. Colossians 3:18-19

   Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.

4. Ephesians 5:22-24

   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.

5. Ephesians 5:25-27

   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.

6. Ephesians 5:28-30

7. Ephesians 5:31-33

   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.

8. Malachi 2:16

   "For the man who does not love his wife but divorces her, says the LORD, the God of Israel, covers his garment with violence, says the LORD of hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be faithless."

So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."
