33 Yet I insist that among you also, each man is to love his own wife as much as he loves himself, and let a married woman see to it that she treats her husband with respect.
14 And over all these put on love, which is the perfect bond of union;
28 So too married men ought to love their wives as much as they love themselves. He who loves his wife loves himself.
29 For never yet has a man hated his own body. On the contrary he feeds and cherishes it, just as Christ feeds and cherishes the Church;
6 Thus they are no longer two, but one'! What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.«
4 Love is patient and kind. Love knows neither envy nor jealousy. Love is not forward and self-assertive, nor boastful and conceited.
5 She does not behave unbecomingly, nor seek to aggrandize herself, nor blaze out in passionate anger, nor brood over wrongs.
6 She finds no pleasure in injustice done to others, but joyfully sides with the truth.
7 She knows how to be silent. She is full of trust, full of hope, full of patient endurance.
