unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness

with unrighteousness? and what communion hath

light with darkness?..2 Corinthians 6:14

When the husband has the nobility of character, purity of

heart, elevation of mind, that every true Christian mustpossess, it will be made manifest in the marriage relation....

themselves they are altogetherinefficient, that they must be whollythe Lord's. They must put away

they will be willing to go without thecamp and bear the burden as goodsoldiers of the cross. {Counsel to

Sanctity of the Family Circle.


56/77

There is a sacred circle around every family which should be

preserved. No other one has any right in that sacred circle.

The husband and wife should be all to each other.The wifeshould have no secrets to keep from her husband and let

others know, and the husband should have no secrets to

keep from his wife to relate to others. The heart of his wife

should be the grave for the faults of the husband, and theheart of the husband the grave for his wife's faults. Never

should either party indulge in a joke at the expense of the

other's feelings.Never should either the husband or wife in

sport or in any other manner complain of each other to

others, for frequently indulging in this foolish and what mayseem perfectly harmless joking will end in trial with each

other and perhaps estrangement. I have been shown that

there should be a sacred shield around every family.

Prov 17:6 Children's children are the crown ofold men; and the glory of children are their

fathers.

Infant children are a mirror for the mother, inwhich she may see reflected her own habitsand deportment, and may trace even thetones of her own voice. How careful thenshould be her language and behavior in thepresence of these little learners who take herfor an example. If she wishes them to be

gentle in manners and tractable, she mustcultivate those traits in herself. {ReflectingChrist 189.5}
