Ephesians 5:28-33

In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church--for we are members of his body. "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." This is a profound mystery--but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. 

In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies 
Ephesians 5:25  Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her ...

for we are members of his body 
Romans 12:4-5  For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
1 Corinthians 12:27  Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

and the two will become one flesh 
Genesis 2:24  That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
Matthew 19:4-5  "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' (Genesis 1:27) and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh' (Genesis 2:24)?"
1 Corinthians 6:16  Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh." (Genesis 2:24) 

However, each one of you must love his wife as he loves himself 
Ephesians 5:25  Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her ...
