Right and Wrong: Guidance That Works

 BIBLE GUIDANCE WORKS: Quang and Thi, from Vietnam, felt trapped in their unhappy marriage. Quang was often unkind: He says: "I didn't care about the feelings and often humiliated her." This wanted a divorce. She said: "I felt that I could no longer trust or respect my husband." 

Eventually, Quang and Thu learned what the Bible teaches and how to apply Ephesians 5:33 in their marriage.  "This verse helped to see the need to be kind," says Quang, "and to make Thi feel loved and cared for materially, physically, and emotionally. When I act that way, I gain her love and respect." And Thi says, "the more I apply Ephesians 5:33 and show my husband respect, the more my husband makes me feel loved, protected, and at peace."
