"Therefore if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." (Rom. 12:20-21)

You may have heard about the woman in Alabama who sued her husband for divorce. She told the judge she had nagged and nagged the man, but she couldn't get him to do right. The judge asked the woman if she had tried the Bible principle where it says to "heap coals of fire on his head." The woman answered, "No, but I don't think it will work. I've already tried boiling water, and that didn't do any good."

If she had known the Bible principles and followed them, she would have had, not only acceptance with God, but great wisdom and success in obtaining a happy marriage.
