God designed marriage to be a blessing. “He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the LORD” (Prov. 18:22, NKJV). For marriage to be a blessing, the husband and the wife must be committed to following God’s words regarding the marriage relationship.

• Genesis 2:24-25
• Hebrews 13:4
• 1 Peter 3:1-7
