A Wife Of Noble Character

A wife of noble character is her husband's crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones. -- Proverbs 12:4

It's been a pretty rough year financially at our house...and it seems to have been at most everyone else's house as well. We made the decision that one of us would go get a second job for a few months. My wife decided she should do it for a few good reasons that I couldn't really argue with, so that's what we're doing.

As the husband and father I feel like it's my responsibility to take care of my family. My initial reaction was that I need to be the one to work extra if it's needed. But my wife is a wife of noble character and her arguments made sense, so I conceded.

Men, hopefully you did a good job of picking a wife of noble character. If you did, you need to really appreciate her and let her know about it. The proverb above says such as wife is her husband's crown. The best. Treasure her and appreciate her. She makes you a better man, I promise!

Wives, take care when you guide us guys where we need to be. He's the spiritual leader of your family and needs your help. There is a fine distinction between constructive guidance and relentless nagging, and the Bible specifically warns against the nagging. Most men don't want to admit it but our egos are very fragile, especially where you are concerned. Treat it with care and watch as your man becomes something greater than you ever could have imagined.
