Genesis 2:22-25 (NET)
2:22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the part he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
2:23 Then the man said, “This one at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one will be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”
2:24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and unites with his wife, and they become a new family.
2:25 The man and his wife were both naked, but they were not ashamed.

Ephesians 5:22-28 (NET)
5:22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord,

5:25 Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her
5:26 to sanctify her by cleansing her with the washing of the water by the word,
5:27 so that he may present the church to himself as glorious – not having a stain or wrinkle, or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.

Titus 2:1-8 (NET)
2:1 But as for you, communicate the behavior that goes with sound teaching.
2:2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.
2:3 Older women likewise are to exhibit behavior fitting for those who are holy, not slandering, not slaves to excessive drinking, but teaching what is good.
2:4 In this way they will train the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children,
2:5 to be self-controlled, pure, fulfilling their duties at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the message of God may not be discredited.
2:6 Encourage younger men likewise to be self-controlled,
2:7 showing yourself to be an example of good works in every way. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,
2:8 and a sound message that cannot be criticized, so that any opponent will be at a loss, because he has nothing evil to say about us.
