for wives
Ephesians 5 :22-33
22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For we are members of His body,[d] of His flesh and of His bones. 31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”[e] 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Deuteronomy 6
The Greatest Commandment
1 “Now this is the commandment, and these are the statutes and judgments which the LORD your God has commanded to teach you, that you may observe them in the land which you are crossing over to possess, 2 that you may fear the LORD your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged. 3 Therefore hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe it, that it may be well with you, and that you may multiply greatly as the LORD God of your fathers has promised you—‘a land flowing with milk and honey.’[a]
4 “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one![b] 5 You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

Proverbs 31 is the classic chapter about a Godly wife.
Mark 10:11 - about divorce
Ephesians 5:22-31
The Eph. verses are the most clear. Many women have trouble with the "submit to your husbands" part, but you can't stop reading there. His job is much harder. He is to give up his life for his wife. He has to lay down his own desires and do what is right for his wife and children. If you have a man that does that, you will want to submit to him. Submission does not negate input into the decisions, it just lays out a protocol for making the final choice.
Proverbs 13:22 - leave an inheritance (this can mean spiritual as well as monetary / wealth)
Prov 22:6 - Train a child in the way he should go...
Prov 22:15 - kids are bad, but discipline will change it
Prov 23:13 - spank them
Prov 29:15 - an undisciplined child disgraces his mother

Below are a few links to Bible based articles that may help you:
Although these themselves are not the verses, there are many more verses within the articles than I could ever begin to post, as well as these help ones to practically apply what the Bible is teaching.

We don't need verses to tell about anything in life.
Verses were written by biased people.
Look wide. Do not be narrow minded. Every civilization has something to offer. Choose what is practical for your situation. Do not be limited by your religion, race, bringing up, environment or any other conditioning factors.
If I was asked this question at 25 years of age I would have said 'give me active and violent sex 3 times a day'.
At 35 - please get my breakfast ready and my car started - I am in a rat-race to become the CEO of my company. Don't ever come into my room when I am working at night.
Don't even think of sex.
I can tell you what happens at other ages.
But the last and beautiful age is when you tell your wife'"Darling, we must go into a nice nursing/Seniors home where they will provide us everything.. I just want to sit in the lawn in the summer with you and enjoy the view/nature/scenery- or whatever."
