I’m gonna have to throw in some shit here to clarify.
Basics: The old law was the Law of Moses and it was the rules set down in the Old Testament as to how one should live one’s life. Those are the books of Leviticus and all the others.
The new law is the Law of Jesus and his coming and establishment as the Son of God meant that the old law was fulfilled and passed away and were no longer relevant to Christianity and Christians.
So. What does the new Law say about Marriage? Very little, actually. Jesus mostly talks about its irrelevance after the Resurrection, and even family itself wasn’t a big concern for Jesus and his teachings.
The other writers of the New Testament basically state that the wife is subservient to the husband and the husband is responsible for protecting the wife. There’s not much in the way of caring advice or suggestions on how to build a strong marriage.
In all reality, the bible is a bad place to look for advice on how to build a marriage.

No, not *that* Bible, the Hannity Bible, where they remove all the woke shit and anti-greed stuff, and make sure to warn all parents that drag-queens are trying to eat their children.

Once we’ve been conditioned into a set of cultural beliefs, we will often cling to them and angrily defend them if challenged. This is our truth, our cosmology, our foundation. Our lives revolve around it. No one wants to think that our families, friends, religions, and institutions are wrong. So we’re subconsciously motivated to notice only those things that align with our beliefs. Beliefs perpetuate themselves with this confirmation bias. As such, this book may bother those attached to beliefs such as Christianity, monogamy, marriage, the nuclear family, or male leadership. In sharing this information for decades I’ve received a lot of anger. Please excuse me if I come off as defensive or embattled.
Leviticus. Stoning adulterers. Man laying with a man is an abomination. A foreigner in your midst is to be treated like your native born. The book is all over the place! /s
