If a man leaves his father for his wife's sake, and then abandons her for whose sake he left his father, what pardon can he deserve? Do you not see, husband, the great honor that God desires you to give your wife? He has taken you from your father and bound28 you to her. How can a believing husband say that he has no obligation if his spouse disobeys him?
John Chrysostom — On Marriage and Family Life
