Lesson of Lot's Marriage Choice

"The wife of Lot was a selfish, irreligious woman, and her influence was exerted to separate her husband from Abraham.
But for her, Lot would not have remained in Sodom, deprived of the counsel of the wise, God-fearing patriarch.

The influence of his wife and the associations of that wicked city would have led him to apostatize from God had it not been for the faithful instruction he had early received from Abraham.
The marriage of Lot and his choice of Sodom for a home were the first links in a chain of events fraught with evil to the world for many generations."
TSB 17.1 E.G.W.
But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Genesis 19:26
