A Tweak In Perspective

“A wife of noble character who can find?

She is worth far more than rubies.

Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.

She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.” (Proverbs 31: 10-12 NIV)

Sometimes, I forget.

Sometimes, I forget that I am his helpmate, not he mine.

Sometimes, I forget the things he values, ‘cause I’m thinking about what I want.

Sometimes, I forget marriage is a daily thing, when the demands of the kids seem to drown his out.

Sometimes, I forget.

But, sometimes, I remember.

And when I remember, the busyness stops, and it is just us.

And it is good.

What does your husband value? (Husbands, speak up.)

What are you bringing him? Good or harm? Indifference?

Does your work help or hinder your marriage?

How are you training your children regarding their roles in marriage?

What is your children’s perception of your marriage?
