Quotes about Wife

Whatever I was, I owed to my family and to all those who struggled with me. But my biggest debt I owed to my wife. She was the one who gave my life meaning.

In a Christian marriage, Atretes, the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, he himself being the Savior of the body.

Sacrificially, willing even to die for her. Love her as you love your own body. Sustain and protect her in all circumstances.
