You cannot forsee what abundance of sin you put yourselves in danger of. Keep up your conjugal love in a constant heat and vigor. Or if a breach and wound be unhappily made, the balsamic quality of love will heal it. A proud heart is troubled and provoked by every word or carriage that seemeth to tend to their undervaluing. A peevish, froward mind is like a sore and ulcerated member, that will be hurt if it be touched.
Foul words tend to more displeasure.
Let the sober party condescend to speak fair and to entreat the other. God doth not approve it, and we shall not approve it when this heat is over. If you will but practise these directions, your family peace may be preserved. Contributions to this Ministry are not tax-deductible.
