Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.
2 Corinthians 13:11
Marriage is a holy bond because it permits two people to help each other work out their spiritual destinies. God declared marriage to be good because He knew that man needed a helpmate and woman needed a protector. He desires that husbands and wives never lose sight of the original purpose of marriage. It is woman’s role to love and help and reassure her husband in every way she can, and it is man’s role to love and protect and provide for his wife and the children she bears, so that the home may be filled with God’s peace and harmony.
–Billy Graham, Peace with God
