When my youngest daughter had not received her ballot from the county clerk's office, she called to enquire about it. They said it was not received in time even though she had sent it in prior to the suggested date. Not wanting her to miss her civic duty, I flew her home for the day. As she was arriving, I was departing for my next trip. Although I did not get to see her, I'm glad she had the opportunity to vote with her sister and voice her opinion. #Vote2024 – at Anchorage, AK

In a Christian marriage, a wife should vote according to her husband’s direction. He is the head and they are one. Unity extends to politics. This is not controversial.
