PRINCIPLES FOR ENGAGEMENT

7 Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” 2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. 3 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

1 Corinthians 7: 1-5

LET GOD NAME YOU

But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: ''Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.'' Isaiah 43:1 (ESV).
God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: ''The Lord knows those who are his,'' and, ''Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.''

NEW PARTNERSHIPS

You need to be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving, just as God through Christ has forgiven you, and be tenderhearted, repentant, forgave. The same is true for husbands when it comes to their wives, as 1 Peter 3:7 explains. Make sure that you keep an open line of communication with your wife so that you can maintain a harmonious relationship.
