And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my days have been fulfilled.

And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to him; and he went in to her.

When Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

After some days, in the time of wheat harvest, it happened that Samson visited his wife with a young goat. And he said, Let me go in to my wife, into her room. But her father would not permit him to go in.

Her father said, I thought in my heart that you hated her like an enemy; therefore I gave her to your companion. Is not her younger sister better than she? Please, take her instead.

So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.

For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.
