These are principally two: Cohabitation, and Communion.
Cohabitation is their quiet and comfortable dwelling together in one place, for the better performance of mutual duties. 1. Cor. 7. 10. And to the married command I, not I but the Lord, let not the wife separate her self from her husband: vers. 12. But to the remnant I say, not the Lord, If any brother have an unbelieving wife, and she be content to dwell with him, let him not forsake her: vers. 13. And the wife which hath an unbelieving husband, which is content to dwell with her, let her not forsake him. 1. Pet. 3. 7. Likewise let the men dwell together, as becometh them that ⟨p. 99⟩have knowledge; giving honour to the woman as to the weaker vessel, even as they which are heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not interrupted.
