COUNSEL -FOR THE WIVES
She is a wicked wife who drives her husband away by her long tongue. PT94
God save us all from wives who are angels in the streets, saints in the church, and
devils at home. PT95
You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, and training them
up in God’s fear, and minding the house, and making your household a church for
God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of
hosts. 1214.53
The good housewife is like Sarah, of whom it is written that, when the angels asked
Abraham, “Where is Sarah thy wife?” he answered, “Behold, in the tent.” It would
have been well for some of her descendants had they been “in the tent,” too, for
Dinah’s going forth “to see the daughters of the land” cost her dear. 3007.473
