For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.

In that first year of marriage, I cried to God: I can’t do this! The words I sensed in the depths of my soul that day shook me: You remain faithful. I’ll take care of your husband.
