Do You Know Someone Who Lives in a Corner of a Housetop?

Do You Know Someone Who Lives in a Corner of a Housetop?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those with quarrelsome spouses. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Some people would give almost anything to have tranquility in their marriage. People suffering with constant conflict can find themselves the victims of abuse and worse.

Proverbs 21:9 (ESV) may sound humorous, but is rather profound.

“It is better to live in a corner of the housetop
than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.”

Or, if the situation happened to be with a quarrelsome husband.

If you are in a challenging relationship, seek wise counsel. Find a professional to confide in. If possible, find reconciliation.

An Excellent Wife is the Crown of Her Husband!

An Excellent Wife is the Crown of Her Husband!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know an excellent wife is the crown of her husband. In Jesus’ name, amen.

My wife and I are about to celebrate our thirty-third wedding anniversary. It is hard to believe that so much time has passed. There are many highlights we experienced during our years of marriage.

Like Proverbs 12:4 (ESV) says,

“An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones.”

We have a long list of things to be thankful for.

My wife has been and remains an excellent wife. I have been truly blessed by our relationship. My wife was forty-two when we got married. She was faithful to God while she was single.

She is my crown.

Are you equally blessed? Celebrate your relationship, and make the precious moments count.

If you are struggling, ask for divine guidance.

Call Her Blessed!

Call Her Blessed!

Dear Lord, I pray for the woman whose children rise up and call her blessed. In Jesus’ name amen.

A woman who exemplifies virtue and is a model of excellence is described in Proverbs 31. Women like this are often referred to as Proverbs 31 Wives.

Proverbs 31:27-28 (ESV) offers a description of this woman.

“She looks well to the ways of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children rise up and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:”

Not only is this woman active, her family sings her praise.

Others should follow her example.

The Man Who Trusts His Wife!

The Man Who Trusts His Wife!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for the husband who trusts his wife. In Jesus’ name, amen.

It is often said that behind every successful man is a successful woman. The last verses of Proverbs 31 are about a “Proverbs 31 Wife.”

Proverbs 31:11-12 (ESV) is about the good fortune that comes to a man who has an excellent wife.

“The heart of her husband trusts in her,
and he will have no lack of gain.
She does him good, and not harm,
all the days of her life.”

It is amazing to see how well a couple and a family can thrive when there is trust in the relationship.

Establish and live out the trust.

Change Quarrelsome Behavior!

Change Quarrelsome Behavior!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who want to change their quarrelsome behavior. In Jesus’ name, amen.

A drip, drip, drip can be nerve-racking.

Some people have traits that get on other’s nerves.

Combine these two elements, and Proverbs 27:15-16 (ESV) comes to mind.

“A continual dripping on a rainy day
and a quarrelsome wife are alike;
to restrain her is to restrain the wind
or to grasp oil in one’s right hand.”

Solomon does a good job with his comments about restraining the wind and grasping oil when he articulates how hard it is to control a quarrelsome individual – husband or wife.

If you have been the quarrelsome one in a relationship, it is time to trust the Lord and turn from this way of life.
