"Take (someone) to wife" = Lấy ai làm vợ.

Ví dụ
Most readers will probably remember the LORD’s command that when a man died, his widow should not be cut off, but the man’s brother or other near kin (gần dõng dõi, huyết thống) should take her to wife and raise up an heir (người thừa kế) for the one who had died (e.g., Deut 25).

“A bastard (kẻ đểu, xấu), is it?” Craster looked Jon up and down. “Man wants to bed a woman, seems like he ought to take her to wife. That’s what I do.” He shooed Jon off with a wave. “Well, run and do your service, bastard, and see that axe is good and sharp now, I’ve no use for dull steel.”

He was a man of the Night's Watch, and she was a wildling. He couldn't take her to wife, and he wouldn't abandon his vows. She loved him to the point that she couldn't kill him, even though he betrayed (phản bội) her. As she said to him as she died: "You remember that cave? We should have stayed in that cave."
