Vêr-houding of Verhouding (met jou Huweliksmaat)

Jou verhouding met jouself wys hoeveel jy ander en in besonder jou huweliksmaat kan liefhê

28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. (Eph 5:28-29).

Huwelik

Genesis 2:18 (GNT) - 18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to live alone. I will make a suitable companion to help him.”
Genesis 2:18 (NET) - 18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a companion for him who corresponds to him.”

Gen. 2:18 (NET-57) - The Hebrew expression כְּנֶגְדּוֹ (kénegdo) literally means “according to the opposite of him.” The man’s form and nature are matched by the woman’s as she reflects him and complements him. Together they correspond. In short, this prepositional phrase indicates that she has everything that God had invested in him.

Proverbs 18:22 (CEV) - 22 A man's greatest treasure is his wife — she is a gift from the Lord.

Ecclesiastes 9:9 (NKJV) - 9 Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity; for that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform under the sun.
Proverbs 5:15-19 (NLT) - 15 Drink water from your own well — share your love only with your wife. 16 Why spill the water of your springs in the streets, having sex with just anyone? 17 You should reserve it for yourselves. Never share it with strangers. 18 Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you. Rejoice in the wife of your youth. 19 She is a loving deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts satisfy you always. May you always be captivated by her love.
Proverbs 5:18-19 (CEV) - 18 Be happy with the wife you married when you were young. 19 She is beautiful and graceful, just like a deer; you should be attracted to her and stay deeply in love.
1 Corinthians 7:3-4 (GW) - 3 Husbands and wives should satisfy each other’s [sexual] needs. 4 A wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but her husband does. In the same way, a husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but his wife does.

Ecclesiastes 4:10-12 (NLT) - 10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. 11 Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? 12 A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.

Hebrews 13:4 (NLT) - 4 Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery.
