He should not come into his home with a clouded brow, but should with his presence bring sunlight into the family and should encourage his wife to look up and believe in God. Unitedly they can claim the promises of God and bring His rich blessing into the family. Unkindness, complaining, and anger shut Jesus from the dwelling. I saw that angels of God will flee from a house where there are unpleasant words, fretfulness, and strife.—Testimonies for the Church 1:306, 307 (1862). {1MCP 158.4}

Han bør ikke komme til sit hjem med et trist ansigt, men ved sin nærværelse bringe solskin ind i familien og han bør opmuntre sin hustru til at se opad og tro på Gud. I forening kan de tilegne sig Guds løfter og bringe hans rige velsignelse ind i familien. Uvenlighed, (159) klage og vrede udelukker Jesus fra familiens bolig. Jeg så, at Guds engle vil flygte fra et hus, hvor der er ubehagelig tale, pirrelighed og strid. - vidnesbyrd 1 306, 307 (1862).
