(#10) 1 Corinthians 7:3-5
The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his body but yields it to his wife. Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
In this verse, it describes how the husband and wife are to fulfill their sexual duties to each other in marriage. Sexual intimacy is essential in a marriage, and this is something married couples should engage in.

(#6) 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
When spouses truly love each other, these characteristics will be present. You would be patient, kind, not proud, and not envious. You will be quick to forgive and trust your spouse.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself up for her.
This kind of love is unconditional and sacrificial. Husbands must love in a way that seeks the highest good for their wives. The husband is to love his wife even during times when he doesn't always agree with her or when she does things that get under his skin.

(#8) Proverbs 21:9
Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a room with a quarrelsome wife.
