Nehemiah 5:1-5
There was a widespread outcry from the people and their wives against their Jewish countrymen.Some were saying,“ We, our sons, and our daughters are numerous. Let us get grain so that we can eat and live.”Others were saying,“ We are mortgaging our fields, vineyards, and homes to get grain during the famine.”Still others were saying,“ We have borrowed money to pay the king’s tax on our fields and vineyards.We and our children are just like our countrymen and their children, yet we are subjecting our sons and daughters to slavery. Some of our daughters are already enslaved, but we are powerless because our fields and vineyards belong to others.”

1 Samuel 1 4-1 Samuel 1 8
Whenever Elkanah offered a sacrifice, he always gave portions of the meat to his wife Peninnah and to each of her sons and daughters.But he gave a double portion to Hannah, for he loved her even though the LORD had kept her from conceiving.Her rival would taunt her severely just to provoke her, because the LORD had kept Hannah from conceiving.Year after year, when she went up to the LORD’s house, her rival taunted her in this way. Hannah would weep and would not eat.“ Hannah, why are you crying?” her husband, Elkanah, would ask.“ Why won’t you eat? Why are you troubled? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”

Ephesians 5:25-33
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for herto make her holy, cleansing her with the washing of water by the word.He did this to present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and blameless.In the same way, husbands are to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.For no one ever hates his own flesh but provides and cares for it, just as Christ does for the church,since we are members of his body.For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.This mystery is profound, but I am talking about Christ and the church.To sum up, each one of you is to love his wife as himself, and the wife is to respect her husband.

1 Timothy 5 8
But if anyone does not provide for his own family, especially for his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
