Another principle that would protect the longevity of a marriage is that the husband should obey God and love, honor, and protect his wife as he would his own body (Ephesians 5:25-31).
Kanuni ingine ambayo itakinga urefu wa ndoa ni kuwa mume lazima amutii Mungu, na kumpenda, kumheshimu na kumkinga mke wake vile atafanya kwa mwili wake mwenyewe (Waefeso 5:25-31).
