Bible verse to base marriage on??

Question

our pastor asked us to find a verse to base our marriage on?? i have no clue..i havent even read the bible just a few verses here and there..please help

Answer 1

How about 'an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth'.  That ought to spell fear in the eyes of a groom who considers whether he should have an affair later on. ;)

Answer 2

We are using 1 Corinthians 13- often called the love chapter. It is used at a lot of wedding ceremonies. You might also read Ephesians 5:22-33. That passage talks about how a man should love his wife as Christ loved the church. Verse 31 talks about how a man should leave his mother and become one with his wife.

  You could also get a Bible concordance and look up verses having to do with love and marriage.  I'm sure you will be able to find something appropriate.

Answer 3

if it was me i would choose Song Of Solomon                    chapter 8:6-7. if you have a bible look it up.

Answer 4

I don't know that many versus on marriage, however, I do reccommend Ezekiel 16

Answer 9

Tobit, where Sarah is told to look at her in-laws as just as much her parents as those who raised her.

Answer 10

Well you can go with Jeremiah 29:11 but that to me seems more for an individual than a couple because it talks about the plans God has for you.

Most popular would be 1 Corinthians 13:4-13 which is referred to as the love passage.

I like Ephesians 5:33 which says "Neverthelss let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband."

Hope this helps and congrats!

Answer 11

1 Corinthians 13:4-7  this is my favorite and it is the verse that we are using in our wedding...
