Bible Verses About Wife

For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

That means that if a man has a wife, he should not seek to be free of her; and if he is unmarried, he should not look for a wife.

But if you marry you do not sin, and if a girl marries she does not sin. It is just that those who get married will have the normal problems of married life, and I would rather spare you.

What I am saying, brothers, is that there is not much time left: from now on a man with a wife should live as if he had none —

What I want is for you to be free of concern. An unmarried man concerns himself with the Lord’s affairs,

with how to please the Lord; but the married man concerns himself with the world’s affairs, with how to please his wife;

and he finds himself split. Likewise the woman who is no longer married or the girl who has never been married concerns herself with the Lord’s affairs, with how to be holy both physically and spiritually; but the married woman concerns herself with the world’s affairs, with how to please her husband.

So the man who marries his fiancée will do well, and the man who doesn’t marry will do better.

A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives, but if the husband dies she is free to marry anyone she wishes, provided he is a believer in the Lord.

However, in my opinion, she will be happier if she remains unmarried, and in saying this I think I have God’s Spirit.

But I want you to understand that the head of every man is the Messiah, and the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of the Messiah is God.

Every man who prays or prophesies wearing something down over his head brings shame to his head,

but every woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled brings shame to her head — there is no difference between her and a woman who has had her head shaved.

For if a woman is not veiled, let her also have her hair cut short; but if it is shameful for a woman to wear her hair cut short or to have her head shaved, then let her be veiled.

For a man indeed should not have his head veiled, because he is the image and glory of God, and the woman is the glory of man.

For man was not made from woman, but woman from man;

and indeed man was not created for the sake of the woman but woman for the sake of the man.

The reason a woman should show by veiling her head that she is under authority has to do with the angels.

Nevertheless, in union with the Lord neither is woman independent of man nor is man independent of woman;

for as the woman was made from the man, so also the man is now born through the woman. But everything is from God.

let the wives remain silent when the congregation meets; they are certainly not permitted to speak out. Rather, let them remain subordinate, as also the Torah says;

and if there is something they want to know, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for a woman to speak out in a congregational meeting.

Wives should submit to their husbands as they do to the Lord;

because the husband is head of the wife, just as the Messiah, as head of the Messianic Community, is himself the one who keeps the body safe.

Just as the Messianic Community submits to the Messiah, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
