June 22: Christian Fellowship.
The Key to Marital Bliss.
Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the day of your vain life which He has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity; for that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform under the sun.--Ecclesiastes 9:9, NKJV
THE SPIRIT THAT CHRIST manifests toward us is the spirit that husband and wife are to manifest toward each other. "As Christ also hath loved us." "walk in love." "As the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it." Ephesians 5:2, 24, 25.
Neither the husband nor the wife should attempt to exercise over the other an arbitrary control. Do not try to compel each other to yield to your wishes. You cannot do this and retain each other's love. Be kind, patient, and forbearing, considerate, and courteous. By the grace of God you can succeed in making each other happy, as in your marriage vow you promised to do.--The Ministry of Healing, 361.
Home should be a place where cheerfulness, courtesy, and love abide; and where these graces dwell, there will abide happiness and peace. Troubles may invade, but these are the lot of humanity. Let patience, gratitude, and love keep sunshine in the heart, though the day may be ever so cloudy. In such homes angels of God abide.--The Ministry of Healing, 393.
But among the Lord's people, women are not independent of men,
and men are not independent of women. For although the first woman came from man,
every other man was born from a woman, and everything comes from God.
--1 Corinthians 11:11, 12, NLT
