Emphasize more than ever before the importance of Christian marriages, which are preceded by a time of courtship based on Bible standards. If her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she pleases so long as he is a Christian. If it is important that the second marriage be a Christian union, it is far more important that the first marriage be a binding of two sincere believers in Christ, for it is to this first union that children are usually added. Every young person when considering forming a life's companionship, should seek divine guidance. If he seeks the Lord's direction earnestly and prayerfully, he will receive it.
Many women argue that they have to earn an income in order to establish a home.
They think it is impossible to survive on their husband's income. That is sometimes the case, but it must always be viewed as a regrettable necessity, never as the normal or natural thing for a wife to do. Therefore, as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Only a God-fearing woman can rightly fill this place in the home. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
