Husbands...
Should have but one wife.
Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father
and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and
they shall be one flesh.
Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God
made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and
mother, and be joined to his wife;
8 And they two shall be one flesh: so then they are
no more two, but one flesh.
1 Corinthians 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication,
let every man have his own wife, and let every woman
have her own husband.
3 Let the husband render unto the wife her due: and
likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4 The wife has not power over her own body, but the
husband: and likewise also the husband has not power
over his own body, but the wife.
Have authority over their wives.
Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly
multiply your sorrow and your conception; in sorrow
you shall bring forth children; and your desire shall
be to your husband, and he shall rule over you.
1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that
the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the
woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the
wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and
he is the savior of the body.
DUTY OF, TO WIVES;
To respect them.
1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, you husbands, dwell with them
according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife,
as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together
of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
To love them.
Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as
Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for
it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the
washing of water by the word,
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious
church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing;
but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies.
He that loves his wife loves himself.
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourishes
and cherishes it, even as the Lord the church:
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and
of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and
mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they
two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning
Christ and the church.
33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular
so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see
that she respect her husband.
Colossians 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and be
not bitter against them.
To regard them as themselves.
Genesis 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my
bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called
Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Matthew 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man
leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife:
and they two shall be one flesh?
To be faithful to them.
Proverbs 5:19 Let her be as the loving deer and graceful
doe; let her breasts satisfy you at all times; and
be ravished always with her love.
Malachi 2:14 Yet you say, Why? Because the LORD has
been witness between you and the wife of your youth,
against whom you have dealt treacherously: yet is
she your companion, and the wife of your covenant.
15 And did not he make them one? Yet had he the remnant
of the spirit. And why one? That he might seek a godly
offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and
let none deal treacherously against the wife of his
youth.
To dwell with them for life.
Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father
and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and
they shall be one flesh.
Matthew 19:3 The Pharisees also came unto him, testing
him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to
put away his wife for every cause?
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have you not
read, that he who made them at the beginning made
them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father
and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they
two shall be one flesh?
6 Therefore they are no more two, but one flesh. What
therefore God has joined together, let not man put
asunder.
7 They said unto him, Why did Moses then command to
give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
8 He said unto them, Moses because of the hardness
of your hearts allowed you to put away your wives:
but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his
wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry
another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her
who is put away does commit adultery.
To comfort them.
1 Samuel 1:8 Then said Elkanah her husband to her,
Hannah, why weep you? and why eat you not? and why
is your heart grieved? am not I better to you than
ten sons?
To consult with them.
Genesis 31:4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and
Leah to the field unto his flock,
5 And said unto them, I see your father's countenance,
that it is not toward me as before; but the God of
my father has been with me.
6 And you know that with all my power I have served
your father.
7 And your father has deceived me, and changed my
wages ten times; but God permitted him not to hurt
me.
Not to leave them, though unbelieving.
1 Corinthians 7:11 But if she depart, let her remain
unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let
not the husband put away his wife.
12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother
has a wife that believes not, and she be pleased to
dwell with him, let him not put her away.
1 Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is
sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is
sanctified by the husband: else were your children
unclean; but now are they holy.
1 Corinthians 7:16 For how do you know, O wife, whether
you shall save your husband? or how do you know, O
man, whether you shall save your wife?
Duties of, not to interfere with their duties to Christ.
Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his
father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers,
and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot
be my disciple.
Matthew 19:29 And everyone that has forsaken houses,
or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or
wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall
receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting
life.

Bad--Exemplified.

together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the

the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman,
Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and
Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the
presence of Ahasuerus the king,
11 To bring Vashti the queen before the king with
the crown royal, to show the people and the princes
her beauty: for she was fair to look upon.
Wives...
Not to be selected from among the ungodly.
Genesis 24:3 And I will make you swear by the LORD,
the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that
you shall not take a wife unto my son of the daughters
of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
Genesis 26:34 And Esau was forty years old when he
took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite,
and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:

and charged him, and said unto him, you shall not
take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.

husband.

for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting
and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt
you not for your lack of self-control.

To remain with them for life.
Romans 7:2 For the woman who has a husband is bound
by the law to her husband so long as he lives; but
if the husband dies, she is loosed from the law of
her husband.
3 So then if, while her husband lives, she is married
to another man, she shall be called an adulteress:
but if her husband dies, she is free from that law;
so that she is no adulteress, though she is married
to another man.
SHOULD BE ADORNED
Not with ornaments.
1 Peter 3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward
adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing of gold,
or of putting on of apparel;
With modesty and sobriety.
1 Timothy 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn
themselves in modest apparel, with decency and propriety;
not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly
array;
With a meek and quiet spirit.
1 Peter 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart,
in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament
of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight
of God of great price.
5 For after this manner in former times the holy women
also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being
in subjection unto their own husbands:
With good works.
1 Timothy 2:10 But (as becomes women professing godliness)
with good works.
1 Timothy 5:10 Well reported of for good works; if
she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers,
if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved
the afflicted, if she has diligently followed every
good work.

16 She considers a field, and buys it: with the fruit
of her hands she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds her loins with strength, and strengthens
her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is good: her
lamp goes not out by night.
19 She lays her hands to the distaff, and her hands

reaches forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household:
for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

is fine linen and purple.

sashes unto the merchants.
25 Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall
rejoice in time to come.

is the law of kindness.
27 She looks well to the ways of her household, and
eats not the bread of idleness.

yea, she reaches forth her hands to the needy.
Duty of, to unbelieving husbands.

that believes not, and if he be pleased to dwell with
her, let her not leave him.

wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the
husband: else were your children unclean; but now
are they holy.

you shall save your husband? or how do you know, O
man, whether you shall save your wife?
1 Peter 3:1 Likewise, you wives, be in subjection
to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word,
they also may without the word be won by the conduct
of the wives;
2 While they behold your chaste behavior coupled with
fear.

the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to
speak; but they are commanded to be submissive, as
also says the law.

the keeper of the women, advised. And Esther obtained
favor in the sight of all them that looked upon her.
16 So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his
royal house in the tenth month, which is the month
Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice your husband,
that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn
you and your father's house with fire: have you called
us to take what we have? is it not so?
16 And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, You
do but hate me, and love me not: you have put forth
a riddle unto the children of my people, and have
not told it to me. And he said unto her, Behold, I
have not told it to my father nor my mother, and shall
I tell it to you?
17 And she wept before him the seven days, while their
