And sapos iu laekem God for forgivim iu, iu tu mas forgivim waef bilong iu. (Matthew 6:12, 14, 15) Sapos hasband and waef willing for forgivim each other, tufala bae hapi insaed marit bilong tufala.

Diswan hem barava serious samting bikos sapos hasband no treatim gud long waef bilong hem, maet Jehovah bae no herem olketa prea bilong hem.

(Provebs 5:15-21; Hebrew 13:4) Hasband and waef shud tingim need bilong each other saed long sex and shud no tingim seleva nomoa. (1 Corinth 7:3-5) Hem gud for hasband tingim diswan: “No eni man heitim body bilong hemseleva bat hem feedim and lovem body bilong hem.” So hem shud lovem and tinghae long waef bilong hem. Samting wea waef barava laekem nao hem for hasband kaen long hem and lovem hem.—Ephesus 5:29.

Olsem example, Sarah talem wanfala samting wea Abraham no hapi long hem, bat Jehovah sei long Abraham: “Yu duim [“herem,” NW] wanem Sera hemi talem yu.” (Jenesis 21:9-12) Hasband wea worshipim Jehovah hem evritaem mekem disison wea no againstim wanem Bible talem, so waef shud sapotim datfala disison.
