Words of Wisdom for Husbands and Wives

The oneness of the husband and the wife

is a type of Christ and the Church.

With Christ having the preeminence over all things

is the glory between the couple.

Praying and studying the word in one accord

is the daily necessity.

Submission in the wife and love in the husband

is the basic rule for all daily walk.

Mutual honoring and care

is the expression of love.

Respect for each other’s kinfolks

is the duty that brings blessings.

“Thank you” and “I’m sorry”

are words that ought to frequent the mouths.

Letting down on courtesy because of familiarity

is the beginning of discord.

The first occurrence of discord

is an opening for Satan’s intrusion.

Speaking to others the shortcomings of your partner

provides further opportunity for Satan’s malice.

Counting your partner’s shortcomings

and dwelling on your own virtues

are an invitation to Satan’s suggestions.

Never allow yourself to be the other’s cross

while remembering that the other is always your cross

is the secret of victory.    by Witness Lee, 1932
