Suggest reading the entire chapter 5 in the Book of Ephesians. Here is a bit:

Ephesians 5:22-29New King James Version (NKJV) Marriage-Christ and the Church22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so letthe wives be to their own husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.

Additional thoughts:

Ephesians 5:31 is a very good one to start out with, involving loyalty. Often not appreciated these days, it says: "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."(NIV)

Since the beginning, when 2 people marry, and have relations, they become 'one flesh' in God's eyes (Genesis 2:22-24/Matthew 19:4-6/Proverbs 5:18) and any sexual relations outside of this marriage are forbidden (Hebrews 13:4/ Malachi 2:16) unless the death(Romans 7:2) or sexual disloyalty (Matthew 5:42) leads to a separation. Fornication, condemned by God, breaks the marriage bond by causing a person to 'become one' with another (1Corinthians 6:16). According to The Bible at Ephesians 5:5, fornicators will NOT inherit God's kingdom.(Hebrews 13:4)
