Verses about marriage are scattered throughout the Holy Scriptures. Every time the topic of marriage is mentioned in the Bible, it's cause for celebration. This concept is so important to the Lord that He compares it to the love He Himself feels for His church. It's not just anything, it's not just sex; it's the union of two people to such an extent that they become one flesh.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself,
Ephesians 5: 25-28
The woman, the gift of God for his servant, the man.
Marriage is not just a matter of joy and celebration; God saw a need for man to have a wife, and so He created the last of the species. In deference to the beasts of the field, God made Eve more beautiful than Adam, more delicate, delicate, and graceful.
God made man and woman a perfect pair, complementing each other in every way. Marriage is simply the embodiment of this perfect plan. Here are some more verses for married couples.
Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” So the Lord God formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky and brought them to the man to see what he would name them. (…) But no suitable helper was found for the man. So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken and brought her to the man. When the man saw her, he said:
"This is really my own flesh and bones! She is going to be called "woman", because God took her out of man. »Genesis 2: 18-23
Notice Adam's joy: finally! my wife (satisfied) and I am sure that Eva was led by the hand of God, she was excited and ecstatic to see who she had created her for. We are created for each other.
Although the mentality of this century and the sin of humanity want to damage the honor and the concept of marriage, it is up to us to know that it is not something past and old, nor a superficial thing. It is a plan of love, it is God's plan for a good relationship between man and woman.
Marriage, more than a civil contract, a life challenge.
But marriage and living as a couple are not easy. There will always be things we don't like about each other, and that's not bad or abnormal. It is completely normal for there to be arguments during marriage, the important thing in these cases is to remember that our human and carnal nature cannot dominate us, much less harm our spouse.
The Lord also said it with the commandments (St. Matthew 22: 37-39) and the golden rule (St. Matthew 7:12). A marriage without God is a marriage without genuine love, without the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and without the promise of the plan for their lives.
If you find yourself in this stage of marriage and want guidance from the Lord, I invite you to read the following article on prayer for a marriage in crisis.

For wives, this means: submit each one to her husband as to the Lord, because the husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of her body, which is the church. Just as the church submits to Christ, so the wife must submit to her husband in everything.For husbands, that means: each love his wife as Christ loved the church.
