But we each can do our part to make our home a safe place to be, where people are built up, not torn down. We each have a position to play to bring love and encouragement and respect to the other members of our family whether they're doing it or not. Be sure you're not bringing things aboard that can hijack your family's happiness. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Eph.5.22-33&version=NIV 2009-07-17T09:27:01-05:00 Husbands and wives are both called to submit to and serve each other, using Christ's relationship to the church as their model.
