Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word.
[ Manuscript 21] “I have been shown that around every family there is a sacred circle which should be kept unbroken. Within this circle no other person has a right to come. The husband and the wife should have confidence in each other. The wife should keep no secret from her husband, and the husband should keep no secret from his wife.
Neither should relate family secrets to others. The heart of the wife should be the grave for her husband’s faults, and the heart of the husband should be the grave for his wife’s faults. Never should either husband or wife indulge in a joke at the expense of the other’s feelings. Never should either one in sport or in any other way complain to others concerning their companion.
Frequent indulgence in foolish and what may apparently be harmless joking will eventually become habit, and may end in trial and possibly in estrangement.” Therefore, wherever palpable differences may exist spiritually, let husbands and wives seek to close the gap as soon and as much as possible, for we would need to be on the same page spiritually, now more than ever.
Ephesians 4: I therefore, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
