Timely guidance from the fourth century

"Show your wife you appreciate her company a lot and that you prefer to be at home rather than outside, because she is there. Show her a preference among all your friends and even above the children she has given you; love them because of her ... Pray all together ... Learn the fear of God; everything else will flow from this like water from a fountain and your house will be filled with bounty."

-Saint John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople, 347-407 A.D.
