you aren't really supposed to say "husband" or "wife" here
the term is "partner"
partner if you are married
partner if you are in a civil union
partner if you just live together
partner for gay
partner for straight
sorry, but a "partner" is someone I work with in a class on a project, or someone I am in business with
the guy I am married to is my husband---he is my only husband
it is a unique relationship and deserves it's own word
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 664728 Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
Ephesians 5:28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
Ephesians 5:33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Colossians 3:19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
1 Peter 3:7 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.
