“A servant, indeed, one will be able, perhaps, to bind down by fear; nay not even him, for he will soon start away and be gone. But the partner of one's life, the mother of one's children, the foundation of one's every joy, one ought never to chain down by fear and menaces, but with love and good temper. For what sort of union is that, where the wife trembles at her husband?” -John Chrysostom, Homily 20 on Ephesians

@_matthewpearson You’re headed in an excellent direction!

@_matthewpearson Chrysostom had some of the most goated marriage advice, even though he never married. Truly a man full of the Holy Ghost.

@_matthewpearson Why post Orthodox Saint instead of calvin or luther?

@_matthewpearson AN ICON??!!! ISN'T THAT HECKIN IDOLATRY!!!???
