9m. One Wife
1 Timothy3:12 A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well.
This is the same phrase that Paul used for the elder of the church, he must be the husband of but one wife. Again I am not sure if it refers to polygamy or divorce. But this I know, more than one wife causes issues of devotion and commitment. Since this is mentioned for both types of leaders we need to pay special attention to it.
Daughters, be married to only one man. Never divorce him. Stick by him. Encourage him. Serve him. Love him. If you do these things (and more), God will effectively use him to grow the kingdom.
