DAILY READINGS: Deuteronomy 4:1-49; Ecclesiastes 5:1-6:12; Luke 7:30-50

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord…Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it. Ephesians 5:22, 25

“Success in marriage consists of not only finding the right mate, but also in being the right mate. Keep your eyes open before marriage, and half shut afterwards.” So said Benjamin Franklin. Scripture’s proven formula is a husband’s love being showered upon his lovingly submissive wife. —Arnot P. McIntee

O give us homes with godly fathers, mothers,
Who always place their hope and trust in Him;
A home where each finds joy in serving others,
And love still shines, though days be dark and grim. —B. Hart
