Please never forget that a worthy wife is a crown for her husband, but a disgraceful woman is like cancer in his bones – Prov. 12:4! Ouch! Women folk, let’s strive to be worthy wives, women of noble character, excellent wives. Women of meek, gentle spirits (1 Peter 3:4). Who wouldn’t want such a wife? I’m still a work in progress but I am one crown 👸🏾 my husband PROUDLY wears!
Don’t be the wife who disgraces her husband. Or the one who can’t tame her tongue, a troublemaker, nagging and gossiping around town, spreading her husband’s imperfections to anyone who’ll listen (VERY VERY BAD). Those are traits of a foolish woman (Proverbs 14:1). I once knew of a husband who boldly said his wife set him back in life because of such negative attributes, and that statement pierced my soul.
How can the one who is meant to a good thing be viewed in such a way? Unacceptable! In fact, that’s not a good testimony. Yes! I know… No husband is perfect! Yes! It takes two to build a home. Any husband who is loving correctly, will provoke right results in his wife and see the proofs in his home. I understand! Here’s my point: Your husband may not be living up to what God expects of him but don’t allow his behavior to bring out the worst in you!
While he may be doing wrong, be the one doing right (1 Peter 3:1). Seek help from the Holy Spirit and be wise in resolving issues in your home. It’ll require much grace; thank God He gives His grace to help freely and in abundance so rely on that grace and put it to work. Of course, every case is different so if you believe your home is broken beyond repair, please seek godly counsel for the way forward. Be open to reconciliation if possible.
Husband folk have their work to do, however this is specifically a note to us as godly women to strive to be honorable and exemplary wives, circumstances notwithstanding. God created us as helpers so we must not turn ourselves into the opposite. If you’re a single lady, think on these things! Wishing you God’s best in your marriage and family life. Cheers…
