What does the Bible say about marriage obligations?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that husbands and wives owe each other due benevolence, emphasizing love, respect, and fulfillment of each other's needs.

In 1 Corinthians 7:3-5, the Apostle Paul outlines the mutual obligations between husbands and wives, stating that each partner owes to the other due benevolence. This includes love, tenderness, respect, and an intimate connection. The concept of benevolence is not merely a suggestion but a divine obligation rooted in the covenant of marriage, which is recognized and instituted by God. Therefore, both partners are called to honor this commitment and meet each other's needs willingly and lovingly, emphasizing fidelity within the marriage covenant.
