Monogamy

But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.

He must not take many wives for himself, lest his heart go astray. He must not accumulate for himself large amounts of silver and gold.

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”

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

Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

…and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but she who causes shame is like decay in his bones.
