The Puritan ethic of marriage was to look not for a partner whom you do love passionately at this moment, but rather for one whom you can love steadily as your best friend for life, and then to proceed with God’s help to do just that. The Puritan ethic of nurture was to train up children in the way they should go, to care for their bodies and souls together, and to educate them for sober, godly, socially useful adult living. The Puritan way of home life was based on maintaining order, courtesy and family worship. Goodwill, patience, consistency and an encouraging attitude were seen as the essential domestic virtues.

Erroll Hulse
Erroll Hulse (1931–2017) war ein südafrikanisch-britischer reformiert-baptistischer Pastor, Autor und Verleger, der überwiegend in England sowie im südlichen Afrika wirkte. Als früher Geschäftsführer des Verlags Banner of Truth Trust und langjähriger Herausgeber der Zeitschrift Reformation Today prägte er die weltweite Wiederentdeckung puritanischer und reformatorischer Theologie. Heutigen Bibellesern vermitteln seine Schriften eine Verbindung von reformierter Gnadenlehre mit weltweiter Evangelisation und praktischer Gemeindefrömmigkeit.
