What does the Bible say about bitter wife?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible calls husbands and wives away from bitterness and toward repentance, forgiveness, peace, and steadfast love through Christ. Ephesians 4:31-32 commands believers to put away bitterness and to forgive as God forgave them in Christ, while Hebrews 12:14-15 warns that a root of bitterness harms many. Marriage does not excuse sinful resentment, nor does it require enduring abuse; spouses should seek godly help, safety, and reconciliation where repentance is present. Jesus teaches generous forgiveness in Matthew 18:21-22 and models it in Luke 23:34. In hardship, believers may entrust their future to God's wise purposes, as Jeremiah 29:11 reminds God's people of His faithful care.
