Chapter 9: Responsibilities of Husbands, Wives, Parents, and Children.
LET HUSBANDS LOVE THEIR WIVES: remembering that, at creation, one woman, and not many, was given to one man. Let wives honor their husbands, as their own flesh, and let them not presume to address them by their names. Let them also be chaste, considering their husbands as their only partners, to whom they have been united according to the will of God. You parents, provide a holy training to your children. You children, "honor your parents, that it may be well with you."
