It is on this note I want to encourage us to always make ourselves clean, our home tidy and habitable for our husbands. This will attract us more to our spouses, hence, promoting loving and peaceful homes. We should also be respectful and responsible wives at home, so as to make peace reign in our God given society at large.”
