THE MARRIAGE BED CAN BE DEFILED: Why many married couples are unhappy and there is no respect in their relationship. MEN & WOMEN BEWARE!!! When the wife YIELDS HER BODY AND MIND to the control of her husband, being passive to his will IN ALL THINGS, SACRIFICING HER CONSCIENCE, HER DIGNITY, and even her IDENTITY, she loses the opportunity of exerting that mighty influence for good which she should possess to elevate her husband. She could soften his stern nature, and her sanctifying influence could be exerted in a manner to refine and purify, leading him to strive earnestly to govern his passions and be more spiritually minded, that they might be partakers together of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. The power of influence can be great to lead the mind to high and noble themes, above the low, sensual indulgences for which the heart unrenewed by grace naturally seeks. If the wife feels that in order to please her husband she must come down to his standard, when animal passion is the principal basis of his love and controls his actions, she displeases God; for she fails to exert a sanctifying influence upon her husband. If she feels that she must submit to his animal passions without a word of remonstrance, she does not understand her duty to him nor to her God. Adventist Home Pg. 127
