But if you cannot restrain your desires, go ahead and marry---it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

Avoid immorality. Any other sin a man commits does not affect his body; but the man who is guilty of sexual immorality sins against his own body.

So be happy with your wife and find your joy with the woman you married---

pretty and graceful as a deer. Let her charms keep you happy; let her surround you with her love.

Such people teach that it is wrong to marry and to eat certain foods. But God created those foods to be eaten, after a prayer of thanks, by those who are believers and have come to know the truth.

Find a wife and you find a good thing; it shows that the LORD is good to you.

A man can inherit a house and money from his parents, but only the LORD can give him a sensible wife.

You ask why he no longer accepts them. It is because he knows you have broken your promise to the wife you married when you were young. She was your partner, and you have broken your promise to her, although you promised before God that you would be faithful to her.

Men ought to love their wives just as they love their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself.

But it also applies to you: every husband must love his wife as himself, and every wife must respect her husband.
