“Three weeks ago his stepsister wo that my husband (her brother by adoption) was the first one she ever hud an.

stayed with my husband because of my children and because I love him. How can I get him to stay home. We hardly ever have anything to do with each other! for all he can talk about is his; stepsister. I've lost 10 pounds and everyone 1s telling me I'm a. fool to stay, even my husband's friend. I've read your column since you started, and think you give . good advice. 1 won't take any-| one's advice but yours. Thank! you. : MRS. F. Because of what you wrote privately, along with your pub- | lished letter, I wish you didn't Jove him. But you do, »0 may“be trying to win him back is warth it. + 1 know it's hard to keep your trouble to yourself, but it only ‘gets bigger when you listen to people condemn your husband.

God Heads Home

MARRIED people should real-|

{ize that God instituted marriage and that God makes homes

Christian, It is very discourag-

ing to read In your column of women asking “why should I live

iwith my husband -when I love: another man?” and vice versa.

They should try prayer, love, companionship and faithfulness, They should accept Christ and make their homes Carastian through him.

My husband and I ave been married two years and we're very {happy because our home is united ‘with love and has God as the head. MARS HILL READER.

You have well emphasized | the fact that two people often |

find it difficult to live fully just
