KEEP JEHOVAH FIRST IN YOUR LIFE - Conclusion

 Consider the experience of Alexandru and his wife, Dorina. After the couple studied the Bible for a year, Dorina decided to stop, and she wanted Alexandru to stop too. However, he calmly and tactfully told her that he would continue. Dorina was not pleased and tried to force him to stop studying. Alexandru says that he tried to understand her reaction, but it was not easy for him. At times, when Dorina criticized him and replied harshly, he felt like giving up the Bible study. Still, Alexandru persevered in putting Jehovah first, all the while showing great love and respect for his wife. In the end, his fine example motivated her to resume her Bible study, and she eventually embraced the truth.- See on jw.org the video Alexandru and Dorina Vacar: "Love Is Patient and Kind" in the series "Truth Transforms Lives."

Jehovah created the family arrangement, and he wants us to have a happy family. (Ephesians 3:14, 15) If we want to be happy, we need to do things Jehovah's way. Never doubt that Jehovah cherishes your self-sacrificing efforts to worship him as you care for your family and treat them with love and respect. - ROMANS 12:10.
