• Matt 19:3-9 : 3 Some Pharisees came to him, testing him and asking, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?" 4 He answered, "Have you not read that the Creator, from the beginning, made them male and female?" 5 And he said, "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate. 7 They said to him, "Why then did Moses command that a certificate of divorce be given and the woman sent away?" 8 He said to them, "Moses allowed you to divorce your wives because of the hardness of your hearts, but it was not this way from the beginning." 9 I tell you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman, commits adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman also commits adultery.
• Eph 5:28-31 : 28 In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of His body. 31 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
• Mark 10:6-9 : 6 'But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.' 7 'For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,' 8 'and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one.' 9 'Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.' 10 Back at the house, the disciples asked him again about this matter. 11 He told them, 'Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.' 12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.
• 1 Cor 6:16-17 : 16 Or do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one body with her? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh." 17 But whoever is united with the Lord is one with Him in spirit.
• Mal 2:14-16 : 14 Yet you ask, 'Why?' Because the Lord has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth. You have been unfaithful to her, though she is your companion and the wife of your covenant. 15 Did not God make them one, with a portion of His spirit in their union? And what was the one seeking? Godly offspring. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth. 16 For the Lord, the God of Israel, says that He hates divorce, and He covers his garment with violence, says the Lord of Hosts. Therefore, guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be unfaithful.

• 1 Pet 3:1-7 : 1 In the same way, wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, so that even if some disobey the word, they may be won over without a word by the conduct of their wives. 2 When they observe your pure and reverent behavior. 3 Let your beauty not be external—such as elaborate hairstyles, the wearing of gold jewelry, or fine clothes. 4 Instead, it should be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight. 5 For in this way, in the past, the holy women who hoped in God also adorned themselves, submitting to their own husbands. 6 Just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. You are her children if you do what is good and do not fear anything that frightens you. 7 Husbands, in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with a weaker vessel, showing them honor as co-heirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

Likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
