God made man and woman. He intended for each of us to have a soulmate, and blend together as one.
"Then the Lord God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him." - Genesis 2:18
God made a woman for a man. The love between a woman and man should be treated with kindness, love, care, faithfulness, maturity and honesty. You should treat each other as a best friend, as when you get married you have made vows that you will be together through sickness and health, for richer or poorer. That is your best friend, and you shall treat one another with respect. Compromise will come into play very soon. You both have to learn to compromise and give some to get some.
"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong-doing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love." - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8,13
Be faithful to one another. Most importantly have a rich relationship with the Lord together. Have prayer together, have honesty and dedication to the Lord together. You are now as one. You have to put God before each other, and then yourselves. He is always number one, and you then can put the other things behind him. But, never put anything before him.
He is the Lord our God, and give him the respect he deserves.
"Husbands love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband." - Ephesians 5:25,28-31,33
Do not be foolish and childish with love. Treat it with respect. Stay truthful and faithful the entire time.
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.
Amen.
