A Prudent Wife!

Proverbs; 19:14
(Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the LORD.)
For all men who have a prudent wife, we are blessed from the LORD. They are a perfect compliment to us men. After God had created man, He seen that it wasn't good for man to be alone. So He created woman from man to be his helper and also to procreate. God tells us that a prudent wife is a gift from Him.

What is meant by prudent? (foresighted, wise, shrewd in the management of practical affairs, discreet, frugal)

Our wife is a gift from God and we need to cherish her and care for her as God has directed us.
Colossians; 3:19
(Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.)
Ephesians; 5:25
(Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her)
God didn't say that we only love them when they are doing what we want, but our love is suppose to be unconditional. It isn't hard to see that in our country many women are not loved as God has directed us. Many are abused physically as well as verbally. Most men have seen this as well as heard this in their lifetime. Then we wonder why marriage as God had planned it has broken down.

Our willful disobedience to God's command has caused the divorce rate to rise out of control. The family structure is breaking down and we are reaping the consequences. Children are growing up without the influence of a father figure. Crime is out of control and we wonder why this is happening. Men, if we loved our wives as God has told us to, we wouldn't have the troubles we have today. I understand that it isn't always the man's fault, but we have to take blame when we don't obey God.

1Peter; 3:7
(Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.)
Not always an easy task? God has told us what He expects from us and we had better obey. If we obey, the trend of broken marriages will substantially decrease. God knows what is best for us and that is why He has given us rules to live by. Let's start today by being obedient to God and loving our wives as He has commanded us.

God Bless You!
