Ajuda para casais
Deus fortalece casamentos. A Bíblia oferece sabedoria prática para casais: comunicar com verdade, perdoar com graça, servir com amor e buscar a Deus juntos.
Amor e respeito
Maridos, amai vossas mulheres. Mulheres, respeitem seus maridos. O amor mútuo edifica o casamento.
25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
33 however, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
28 Even so husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.29 For no man ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ does the church,
25 Therefore, putting away falsehood, let every one speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.
26 Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,27 and give no opportunity to the devil.
29 Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for edifying, as fits the occasion, that it may impart grace to those who hear.
31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, with all malice,32 and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
União e fidelidade
O que Deus ajuntou não separe o homem. Eu e minha casa serviremos ao Senhor. A fidelidade é alicerce do casamento.
6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."
15 And if you be unwilling to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for God will judge the immoral and adulterous.
18 Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.
14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.
12 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience,13 forbearing one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
Perdão e paciência
Sede bondosos e compassivos uns com os outros. O amor é paciente, benigno. Permanece e persevera.
4 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;5 it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;6 it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
10 To the married I give charge, not I but the Lord, that the wife should not separate from her husband11 (but if she does, let her remain single or else be reconciled to her husband)--and that the husband should not divorce his wife.
3 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband.4 For the wife does not rule over her own body, but the husband does; likewise the husband does not rule over his own body, but the wife does.5 Do not refuse one another except perhaps by agreement for a season, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, lest Satan tempt you through lack of self-control.
3 Do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility count others better than yourselves.4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
15 See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all.
8 Above all hold unfailing your love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.
22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the LORD.
