Marriage To A Difficult Man Chs. 5-6 By Wesley Chatham

Sarah was not the best hostess and was often inconsiderate to others, especially to people she did not know.  

Sarah involved herself with the gossip of the town and had little time on the tiny details of her house.  

Writings letters in the New England colonies in the 1600’s was difficult and expensive.  

Once on a calm day, Prince prayed that the Lord would send up a violent storm to repel the French naval attack, and that day a storm broke out that killed the commander and damaged the fleet heavily that was sailing to attack Boston.  

John Adams was a big fan of Thomas Prince’s book that he had written on the early histories of the colonies.  

Benjamin Franklin’s marriage differed from Edward’s because Franklin’s was based solely on love, where Edward did not have much passion towards his life.  

Sarah knew that to handle her husband she had to reassure him of her love and free him to think.  

Edward’s intellectual studies were solely for the preparation of his preaching on Sundays.  

Edward had a phenomenal memory, and rmemorized almost all of his sermons, notes, and announcements.  

Edwards always responded with kindness and compassion when tragedy stuck in his community.
