“I know several couples who experienced adultery in their marriages, but because in each case there was a wife who was willing to pray and a husband open to allowing God to change and restore him, the marriages are still intact and successful today. Only prayer, a submitted heart, and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit can work those kinds of miracles.” KnowsHeartKindStillsTodaySpiritPrayerCasesSuccessfulWifeWillingPrayingCoupleHolyHusbandMiracleHoly SpiritAllowingAdulteryTransforming Book:The Power of a Praying® Wife Source: The Power of a Praying® Wife

“Mothers have a sacred role. They are partners with God, as well as with their own husbands, first in giving birth to the Lord's spirit children and then rearing those children so they will serve the Lord and keep his commandments. ...Motherhood is a holy calling, a sacred dedication for carrying out the Lord's work, a consecration and devotion to the rearing and fostering, the nurturing of body, mind, and spirit of those who kept their first estate and who came to this earth for their second estate to learn and be tested.” GivingMindFirstsWellsChildrenBodyEarthSpiritMotherLordRolesBirthHolyCallingHusbandSacredMotherhoodPartnersDevotionDedicationCommandmentsEstatesTestedNurturingGiving BirthConsecrationFostering Author:Spencer W.
