The Bible offers timeless advice on love. Love is a journey of growing in understanding, patience, and care for one another, getting to know each other better and strengthening friendship. Whether dating, engaged, or married, we are to love and respect one another, not to focus on our own interests.
Falling in love is not about building a relationship based on desire alone. It is the time to cultivate the values that truly unite two people: love, respect, forgiveness, and understanding. Here are a few Bible verses to encourage you to love with all your heart, soul, and mind.
1 Corinthians 13:4–7
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
- 1 Corinthians 13:4–7
Love is the strongest force in the world. It transforms our hearts and minds and shapes the way we relate to one another. To thrive in love, you have to give and receive it with grace.
Genesis 2:18
The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
- Genesis 2:18
Proverbs 4:23
Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
- Proverbs 4:23
The heart, what a wonderful creation of the Lord, strong, yet fragile at the same time. It reminds us why wisdom, care, and intention are needed in everything we allow to shape our lives.
1 Corinthians 6:18–20
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
- 1 Corinthians 6:18–20
2 Corinthians 6:14–15
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
- 2 Corinthians 6:14–15
We were made with dignity and purpose, to love and be loved by the Lord and those around us. These verses remind us that the Lord cares about our bodies and our relationships. We honor Him by being mindful, caring for ourselves, and guarding the decisions we make with wisdom.
1 Peter 4:8
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
- 1 Peter 4:8

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
- Romans 12:9–10
To love without hesitation and with sincerity, what more can the heart ask for? A love so deep that it forgives all trespasses, a love that stands the test of time.

Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
- Hebrews 13:4

unless they have agreed to do so?
