Marriage, Pucker or Duck! - Part 6

Following Monday's exercise (see part 5) I have little doubt you have a new sensitivity to the power of your words. After the initial shock, and when he got up off the floor, I imagine your hubby is pleased you did your homework.

As we have already established, it is NOT our job to change our husband. That role is already taken. Our role is to be his wife.

We gain valuable insight into excellence in that role in the book of Proverbs...

An excellent wife, who can find?
For her worth is far above jewels.
The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.
She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.


In the above passage (Proverbs 31:10 - 12) we see:

  • An excellent wife is a treasure to her husband.
  • He trusts her.
  • He knows she helps him.
An excellent wife is trusted by her husband because...
she does him good and not evil, all the days of her life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Add (at least) 1 thing to the list (see part 5) of things you appreciate about your husband, and continue to communicate them to him, verbally or in writing.

Check back on Monday for more ways a wife can "do good and not evil" to her husband.
