However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

Being a husband is a whole-time job. That is why so many husbands fail. They cannot give their entire attention to it.

Arnold Bennett

If thou art a man of holiness, thou must look more for a portion of grace in thy wife, than a portion of gold with a wife; thou must look more after righteousness than riches; more after piety than money; more after the inheritance she hath in heaven, than the inheritance she hath on earth; more at her being new born, than at her being high born.

Thomas Brooks

It is necessary to be almost a genius to make a good husband.

Honoré de Balzac

Husbands are like fires. They go out when unattended.

Zsa Zsa Gabor

A husband’s power over his wife is paternal and friendly, not magisterial and despotic.

Jeremy Taylor
