You may be blessed to your husband... as strengthening and comforting and encouraging him... in the weariness and trials which accompany the service. But do not seek to relax his energy. A wife sometimes likes to have her husband for herself, and when her husband is the Lord's laborer it is a great evil. I have known a wife spoil a laborer... in this way. A husband is bound to care for his wife, consider her, and do anything but neglect her... but the wife of a laborer for the Lord must put his work and labor before herself.... A wise wife who seeks first the Lord herself, puts Him first for her husband, and does not love him the less; it is a bond, and her husband will honor and value her, and so will the Lord.
