tionship with my wife is wrong, my relationship to Cod cannot be right. Tensions in the home erect a barrier between us and Cod. As one writer expressed it, "The sighs of an injured wife come between a husband's prayers and Cod's hear ing." Mrs. Clinton Scollard wrote a poem to her husband entitled "Debt." It is the kind of tribute every wife should be able to pay to her Christian husband who is the understanding leader of her home.
My debt to you, Beloved Is one I cannot pay
In any coin of any realm On any reckoning Day; For where is he shall figure The debt, when all is said To one who makes you dream again When all the dreams were dead? Or where is the appraiser Who shall the claim compute Of one who makes you sing again When all the songs were mute? Our wives can say this of us if we treat them as fragile vessels and recognize them as co-heirs of the grace of life.
