Have a good wife?

Good wives and husbands are hard to find. God tells us in His Word what to look for but so many times we settle for the standards of the world and thus we do not have what God desired for us. I am so thankful for my godly wife, Lea Anne, whom I do not deserve. She is a proverb 31 woman! Look at how God describes a good wife here:





Proverbs 31:10-12



10 An excellent wife who can find?

She is far more precious than jewels.

11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,

and he will have no lack of gain.

12 She does him good, and not harm,

all the days of her life.



Trust, great value, provider, and seeking good are some of the values a good wife will have but the most important trait of all is found here:



30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,

but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.



A wife who fears the Lord and puts Him first above all is a good wife. While my wife is beautiful and has a sweet disposition, her best quality is her love for Jesus. That is what we need to be seeking in a wife or a husband. God created us to be in fellowship with other followers of Him, if that is missing in a marriage it will not be what what God designed it to be.



So are you a good wife? Guys did you marry a good wife?



On Monday we will look at a good husband.
