Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.
The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
so he will have no lack of gain.
She does him good and no evil all the days of her life.
These words may be familiar to some of you although they are not mine. They come from a man far more wise than myself.
I've shared them with you because these words sing the song that plays within my heart. I get misunderstood alot because I speak more bluntly and honestly than most people expect.
Isn't it sad the we live life expecting people to lie to us?
But, thats a matter for another post.
I've been thinking alot about the wife. Actually, I'm obsessed with the idea. A man like me was made for a family. All the success in this world, or lack of, would mean nothing to me if I couldn't share life with a woman I can wrap myself up in.
Though I can be wordy, there is little more that needs to be said. I must state, however, I write these words on behalf of all the good men in the world who are willing to treat a good woman as she deserves.
What if someone has been a very virtuous wife and her husband has treated her offensively almost their entire marriage?? What shall a virtuous wife do? May she continue to live a lie of happiness, feeling only as if she has lived his life and not her own? What about the real passion that engulfs her inner most soul? What shall we do with this virtuous woman? Do you know? :)
ReplyDeleteIn order to be a virtous wife, a woman must have a great deal of dignity, integrity, Emotional strength, and self-respect before marraige. With this being so, a virtous wife would not put herself in a situation like this one.
ReplyDeleteLet me add that in the event a woman acquires the many traits prerequisite to virtuousness, and blossoms as a result, she will be left unhappy with a man who is not worthy of her. There are many ways to deal with this. I will write about that in the very near future.
As soon as I read your post my thought went immediately to the last chapter of Proverbs.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, that is it! Proverbs 31:10-12
