Love Finds Expression in Words and Deeds—L_____ needs to cultivate love for his wife, love that will find expression in words and deeds. He should cultivate tender affection. His wife has a sensitive, clinging nature and needs to be cherished. Every word of tenderness, every word of appreciation and affectionate encouragement, will be remembered by her and will reflect back in blessings upon her husband. His unsympathizing nature needs to be brought into close contact with Christ, that that stiffness and cold reserve may be subdued and softened by divine love. {1MCP 215.1}

(215) Kærlighed finder sit udtryk i ord og handlinger. - L____ behøver at opelske kærlighed for sin hustru, en kærlighed der giver sig til udtryk i ord og handlinger. Han bør opelske en blid kærlighed. Hans hustru har en følsom hengiven natur og har brug for at blive elsket. Ethvert ømt ord, enhver påskønnende handling, hengiven opmuntring, vil hun huske og det vil gives igen som velsignelser for hendes mand. Hans uforstående natur behøver at komme i nær kontakt med Kristus, så den stivhed og koldhed kan holdes nede og blødgøres af guddommelig kærlighed.
