 we all know it costs more than a hundred dollars a week to feed, clothe and=
 house children=2E=A0 The issue is not what is paid however, but what the ac=

 So, returning to our much maligned $5 fathers, let's drop our 18% by anothe=

for her'=A0(Eph 5:25)=2E=A0In response to this scripture I realise that marr=
